Peninsula College Writer in Residence Alice Derry and Professor Kate Reavey will team up to help new writers generate new work and share with each other at a free writer’s workshop on from 2-4 p.m. on April 25 on the Peninsula College campus.

Although the exercises will lean toward the writing of poetry, writers are invited to work in any genre.

Contact Matt Teorey at mteorey@pencol.edu by March 1, if you are interested in participating.

The workshop will be limited to 10 participants.

A second free writer’s workshop will be held from 2-4 p.m. April 27 at the college.

Derry and Reavey will help experienced writers improve their work. Derry will provide limited written feedback on each manuscript.

Serious writers can view this workshop as a great free opportunity to work with two veteran poets to catapult their work forward.

Whether publishing is your goal or not, understanding how your poems can be deeper, wider and more technically adept is always a boon.

Interested persons are asked to submit a typed manuscript of poems, 7-10 pages, by Feb. 1.

Manuscripts may be mailed, emailed or submitted in person to Matt Teorey, Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles, WA 98362 or mteorey@pencol.edu.

Call 417-6269 for more information.

The workshop will be limited to 10 participants and will focus on strengths and the positive, though writers should be prepared for suggestions. Participants will be announced on March 1.
