Writing Classes
February 5 and 12 - Finding Your Voice - Tutor Aileen Boyer
Finding your voice as a writer is a journey of self-discovery and creative exploration. By experimenting with different forms and styles, drawing inspiration from others, engaging in writing exercises, and overcoming obstacles, you can uncover the authentic voice that is uniquely yours. Your voice is an evolving aspect of your writing, and with each word you write, you get closer to the heart of your true self. So, write fearlessly, write authentically, and let your voice be heard.
