For 25 years, The Writing Salon has used the power of writing prompts to coax out writers’ work in its raw form—work that would later become novels, personal essays, poems. Write Now! will showcase a Writing Salon teacher’s favorite paths to the source of inspiration – words, passages, photographs, activities – prompts that have propelled them past their own creative barriers and repeatedly broken open their students’ imaginations. 

The prompts might be simple, seductive, strange, or elaborate. The one thing they all have in common: they compel writers to write. Each prompt typically calls for five to fifteen minutes of timed writing, and the teacher will expertly set up the prompts so that participants will find an inviting entry point into the writing experience. In addition to ample writing time during class, participants will have opportunities to share their fresh work with the group. 

Offered on a monthly basis, this class will be led by a different teacher each meeting so that you can sample a range of The Writing Salon’s hottest prompts and most imaginative teachers. Join us to experience the magic when many writers gather together to generate new material, everyone pulsing with creativity.
