New Writing Workshop starting next week!

As part of our collaboration with the UMASS MFA Department, & their Radius project, experienced student writers will return to lead this workshop. In this group participants are encouraged to write their ‘origin story’, their recovery story & it’s connection with the NRC. Participants are also welcome to write on other topics/styles of their choosing as well, and to work on drawings/illustrations. The intended outcome of this project is to have a collection of works that can be published in house & shared with the community. The UMASS students offer their experience with the writing process to help interested participants to build their piece, as well as offer support. Everyone’s a writer & we encourage you to put your personal experience to paper!

What to expect:

• Weekly workshop sessions featuring support from experienced student writers

• A supportive environment to get your stories on to paper

• Opportunity to have your work published in a collection

• Opportunity to read your piece to the community (in spring at a venue to be determined)

• See how the value of our lived experience can benefit others on their recovery journey through written word
