Join Tom Peek at Volcano Art Center for Writing on the Wild Side, Saturday, July 18, from 9:30am– 3:30pm at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. Class fee is $75/$65 for VAC members. Open to all levels and genres. No writing experience is necessary.

Tap the power of intuition to explore your creative mind and discover your unique voice in a new writing workshop with popular Big Island writing teacher and award-winning novelist Tom Peek. “Writing on the Wild Side” will help open up a world of your words.

Storytellers, journal writers, social media correspondents, bloggers, and poets will find Peek’s stimulating techniques and exercises empowering. Learn to silence your inner critic and unleash your expressive potential in this fun, fast-paced, and provocative writing workshop.

Stories, books, poems and personal journals have long provided outlets for creative expression, but with today’s electronic communications, putting your thoughts into words—and sharing them through social media—has never been more prevalent. Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites all await you to release your expressive potential. Previous students have found Peek’s workshops to be engaging, informative, and practical. In his newest workshop, “Writing On The Wild Side,“ Peek offers a wealth of knowledge that writers can use, including those doing everyday social media sharing.

Peek has taught his popular workshops since 1991. A writer for over three decades, his work includes an award-winning novel, newspaper stories and commentaries, university publications, magazine articles, national park exhibits and award-winning video productions.
