UNE Hosts Series of Creative Writing Workshops

The University of New England will host "A Gathering of Writers" - an eight-week series of creative writing workshops held at the Maine Women Writers Collection in the Abplanalp Library on the Westbrook College Campus in Portland, starting September 13.

The workshops are open to men and women from all levels of experience and will run on Tuesdays, 6:00-8:50 p.m. from Sept. 13 - Nov. 1, 2005. The fee for the entire series is $125. Enrollment is limited to 15 people.

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.

Workshop Instructor Kate Kennedy is the author of End over End and More than Petticoats: Remarkable Maine Women. The New York Times described End over End as "replete with sensuous detail and keen insight." Kennedy teaches creative writing in Portland.
