Local author and educator Cynthia Atkins will be teaching a creative writing workshop, “Tell Your Story/Find Your Voice,” in six sessions beginning Tuesday, March 14, through Tuesday, April 18, 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Blue Ridge Community College.
Students will start with drafts and work towards finished pieces in a peer workshop format. Using journaling as a jumping off point, writers will craft work in the genres of poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction. Writers at any stage are welcome.
The class will meet in person on the campus at BRCC.
Atkins’ work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, and she is the author of four collections of poetry, “Psyche’s Weathers,” “In The Event of Full Disclosure,” “Still-Life With God” and “Duets.”
