Coming up in 2025

 

The 41st year of writing classes and workshops with Rick Ohler continues:

 

Creative Writing Workshop

Tuesdays January 14-April 22 6:30-8:30 at the Aurora Senior Center

$85 

 

Writing Your Memoirs and Family Histories

Thursdays January 16-April 24 4-6 at the Aurora Senior Center

$75

 

Both of these classes provide an encouraging, supportive setting for writers of all experience and ability levels. First-timers and veteran writers are welcome. Work on projects you have underway or let me suggest writing topics through prompts. You will quickly discover that the dynamic formed when kindred spirits get together for these two-for sessions provides an atmosphere conducive to creativity, productivity and camaraderie. Fiction, non-fiction, memoir, family history, essay, poetry, children’s literature are all welcome. Writers hoping to publish and those with a desire to express themselves have filled these classes for four decades. Class size limited.

 

 

New This Year:

 

One-day Writing Retreat on the Roycroft Campus 

March 9    9:00-4:30    $100 includes lunch and refreshments

 

Three-day Writing Retreat on the Roycroft Campus  

August 3, 4, 5     9:00-4:30   $300 includes lunch and refreshments

 

Making time to write that story, memoir, essay or poem that has been simmering on the back burner can be difficult in a busy life. What if you had a day, or three days, in a quiet, stimulating space where the only thing on your docket was writing? Spend some time on the historic Roycroft Campus and the nearby village of East Aurora, summoning the Muses, writing and, if you choose, sharing. We’ll begin with some warm-ups and directed exercises, then give you plenty of time to write. Work on a project you have underway or let me help you plan one. Limited to ten particpants.
