YOUTH WRITING WORKSHOP(3)

If you are a young adult, 18-25 or thereabouts, join us from 1-3pm for an inspiring and fun workshop with Poet/Educator Kyle McKillop on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the City Centre branch of Surrey Libraries.

Blossoms & Arteries has two parts where Facilitator Kyle McKillop will brisk you through a writing workshop module, and then be the Resource Person for the peer critique session to listen to your writing samples and provide feedback for you to edit and finetune your work.

This two-hour workshop is designed to inculcate engaged learning and skills sharing in the first session, and a hands-on experience to enhance your editing, critiquing and presentation skills in the second session where you will get the opportunity to present your writing and to give and receive feedback on your own creative work and that of the other participants.

Blossoms & Arteries is the first of a set of six writing workshops to be offered this year by Surrey Muse Writers.

Surrey Muse Writers began in 2016 as a drop-in peer critique group for writers to determine if there was need for such a group in Surrey. After seven bi-weekly meetings, it became clear that it was needed. In the three months of its operations, Surrey Muse Writers ‘surfaced’ a couple of promising young writers, and it allowed sharing of creative work among peers and learning from the experience and knowledge of Resource Persons. The discussions that ensued were direct, intimate, close-up; criticism was given and taken with grace. Compliments to Resource Persons Jennifer Manuel, Toni Levi, Manolis, Larry Nicholson, Kevin Spenst and Judy MacInnes for their generous sharing of time, skills and ideas.
