What I Want You to Know: A Legacy Writing Workshop

Join ACW for an 8-week creative writing workshop for adults ages 55+, led by Elaine Handley. Legacy writing encompasses what we wish for our loved ones to know about us and how we have navigated our lives. Legacy writing preserves our values, stories, opinions, history, and experiences through a creative lens. Students in this workshop will be introduced to engaging prompts, inspiring texts, and a warm, supportive community dedicated to getting words on the page. No prior experience with creative writing is necessary.

This class will meet every Wednesday for 8 weeks at Heaven Hill Farm in Lake Placid. Classes will take place from 10 AM to noon and run May 7 through June 25.

There is a sliding-scale fee to register ($80 – $200). This workshop provides 16 hours of in class instructor time and assignments to take your writing further. This fee will enable us to fairly pay our instructors and offer new workshops in the future.
