The East Austin Writing Project is open to all writers who are 21+. We launched this adult writing space to create a supportive, constructive and creative space. Our group shares all styles of the literary art- poetry, prose, screenplays, etc. using an MFA-style format: group discussion with writer in "box."
Each workshop begins with a provided writing prompt; we write for 20 minutes then share (voluntary: 10-15 minutes) just for fun, no critique. Next we workshop the 3-4 writers’ work who signed up the previous month (5 minutes per poem, 7-10 minutes per story/essay and one minute for author to address the conversation). We discuss what works, suggested changes, theme, ideas, and such.
