Nonfiction writing workshop set for Waterville Public Library Feb. 25

WATERVILLE — The Waterville Public Library will host a two-hour creative nonfiction writing workshop, “Where to Begin, How to Begin,” from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25.
Hosted by Michael Burke, a professor of English and creative writing at Colby Collge, the workshop will explore what the opening of an essay or any piece of nonfiction tells readers about what is to follow, and discuss a variety of options a writer might have for where and how to begin. Examples from professional models will be considered.
Participants should come to the session with an idea for a story they want to write, and be prepared to do some drafting on it during the session (which may or may not be shared with the group, depending on one’s willingness to share).
The session, which is free and open to the public, is appropriate for anyone 18 and older. Participants should bring something to write on and with, be it a laptop, iPad, pad of paper and pen.
Seating is limited to 20 participants; registration is required.
A snow date is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27. Register at wplcreativenonfiction20.eventbrite.com.
