Second Tuesday Community Writers' Workshop

Mercyhurst College Campus
203 Old Main
Erie, PA

The meetings last about two hours. Short poetry is the most common genre, but any genre is welcome—short stories, short plays, and five-minute excerpts of longer works are often brought to workshop. Please bring enough copies of your work for members to comment upon. We have anywhere from eight to fifteen participants per meeting. There is no commitment from month to month, and the workshop is free and open to the public.
