WRITERS CIRCLE (12) Prestwick Chase Conference Room, Saratoga Springs 

Wednesdays, 9am – 12noon, STARTS JANUARY 7 (NOTE: Dates- Jan 7, Feb 4, March 4, April 1)

Story telling is an ancient human endeavor. Something in us needs to encounter and explain the world through words. Whether through prose or poetry, fiction or non-fiction, we have a need to tell our story. We will meet monthly and share our visions in an attempt to make those visions conform better to their original conception. Our tools will be close reading and gentle criticism. The Writer’s Circle meets monthly. Each month, we will share our work via email with our classmates and then read them as a prelude to discussion and criticism. Ideally, we want to have submissions in our hands for reading several days before meeting to allow for thoughtful appraisal.

Leader: Fred Ziemann is a local writer, retired microbiologist, who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Vermont College.
