SWW Storyteller

Workshops

SouthWest Writers offers one-session workshops to advance the skills and marketability of writers in a time-sensitive format. Experienced instructors guide participants through lecture, example, and exercises to increase the quality of their writing.

What is the difference between a class and a workshop? A class is more than one session and usually includes assignments to be completed outside of class. A workshop is one session, and any work required of the students is done during the workshop session.
