Writing from the Heart: Zoom Workshop

The most powerful writing comes from the heart. What do you care about? What inspires you? What is special in your life? Frances Kai-Hwa Wang will offer the “Writing from the Heart” workshop on Saturdays, July 10, 17, 24 2021 from 9:00am – 11am at Volcano Art Center Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.

Write about the people, places, and memories that matter to you. Write to touch, inspire, move, persuade, and provoke readers. Write with emotion, write with spirit. Write from your own truest self to help others find theirs. This course explores the kind of writing that changes people, oneself included. And it begins honestly, one word, one day at a time.

3 Saturdays, 9am-11am, July 10, 17, 24, 2021 on Zoom   (2 hours each session)  Note: VAC students may be joined by some New York Writers Workshop students

Class fee is $75/$65 for VAC members.
