UNE's Maine Women Writers Collection hosts creative writing workshop series

The University of New England's Maine Women Writers Collection will host "A Gathering of Writers" -  a five-week series of creative writing workshops held at the MWWC in the Abplanalp Library on the Westbrook College Campus in Portland, Tuesdays from 6:00-9:00 p.m., July 18 - August 15, 2006.

Each writing workshop will be inspired by the heritage of Maine women writers such as May Sarton, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Sarah Orne Jewett. But the true focus of the workshops will be on creating a supportive community of writers and using a variety of prompts to foster the development of a writer's own individual voice.

The Conference is open to men and women writers, from beginners to advanced. Enrollment is limited to fifteen. Cost of the Summer Series is $85.
