This workshop will give writers, beginning or experienced, the opportunity to read their current work and allow a group critique for the benefit of learning from each other. Attendees are expected to attend all sessions as opposed to dropping in.

The group will be led by volunteer Gerry Niskern. Gerry wrote an opinion column for the Arizona Republic for 25 years. She has been published in numerous venues and has published her own memoir.

If you are working on your memoir or would like to start, please come join us!

To ensure that participants are best benefitting from the workshop, drop-ins will not be allowed after the first two sessions. Look for a new session in January of 2026.

Sessions are on the first and third Thursdays of the month.
