:: Miracle Mile / Koreatown Writers Workshop
::
Our
Miracle Mile / Koreatown area writers group is one of our newer
groups. Our writing groups are a unique combination of
writers groups, creative writing workshops, and writing critique
groups. This group is also a very convenient group from a public
transportation stand point as it is in very short walking distance from
the Wilshire / Normandie LA Metro Station.
Writers of all skill levels and genres join our groups for the
constructive, supportive critique on their current writing projects in
a safe environment from a qualified moderator and from fellow group
members. Our guided critique process has firm rules established
by years of experience that helps keep the critique both constructive
and supportive. Critique should help elevate your writing and get
you excited about the possibilities, not leave you feeling dejected and
discouraged.
Our groups can reignite your passion for writing, let you connect with
other writers in your area, help you create new stories through
improvisational creative writing exercises designed to open up your
creativity and elevate your writing. You will generate new ideas
every week through the writing prompts that also encourage you to
experiment with different voices and genres.
