Murphy Writing Autumn Writing Getaway
Galloway, N.J. 鈥 Murphy Writing of 番茄社区app will present the Autumn Writing Getaway at the 番茄社区app Campus Center, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, from 9:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3.
Participants will spend the day writing in one of the following workshops:
Poetry 鈥 Poetry of Place with Peter Murphy
Fiction 鈥 Grounding Your Story: A Fiction Workshop with Roberta Clipper
Memoir 鈥 No Place Like Home: Writing Memoir from Your Roots with Anndee Hochman
Following the method that workshop leader Peter Murphy, an adjunct professor at Stockton,
has developed over 40 years of teaching, participants will discuss the craft of creative
writing before working on prompts that will challenge them to write for expression
and discovery. The day will also offer opportunities to share new work in read-around
sessions.
鈥淲riting is typically a solitary act,鈥 Murphy explained. 鈥淲hen writers come together
in a supportive community that encourages them to push their boundaries, they often
experience breakthroughs. The unique exercises will allow this supportive program
to benefit both beginning and experienced writers. The workshops create an encouraging
community of writers where all feel welcome.鈥
"I had a story published in a magazine thanks to one of your [writing exercises],鈥
said Kim Trotto of Little Egg Harbor. 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 do better than that!鈥
The cost is $85 which includes lunch and six hours of professional development credit
for educators. Advance registration is required. For full registration information,
