8-week Online Legacy Writing Workshop
February 3 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
**CLASS FULL**
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 virtually from 4-5:30 PM (EST) every Tuesday starting February 3 and ending March 24.
There is a sliding-scale fee to register: $80 – $300.
Senior Scholars can register for a discounted rate of $70.
This workshop provides 12 hours of in class instructor time and assignments to take your writing further.
