Are you working through writer's block? Looking for some inspiration? Join us for Draft n’ Drink, a casual, low-stress writing workshop designed to get your writerly juices flowing. In collaboration with the Hudson Valley Writers Center (HVWC), we’ll meet for an evening of writing prompts and exercises in a fun and casual environment where we can write creatively in community. Participation in the guided writing exercises is voluntary, and participants can share their work in small and large groups if time permits. Enjoy a drink from the bar while you start something new, continue a work-in-progress, or just let the moment guide you.
This is the first of three monthly Draft n’ Drink events. The first two will take place at HVWC, and the third will take place at the bookstore.
Facilitators will vary, but Dominika Wrozynski, Program Director at HVWC, will kick off the event series on May 7. If you have questions, please email Dominika at dominika@writerscenter.org.
Our events frequently reach capacity, so if you are interested in attending, please register ahead of time to ensure you get a seat!
