 Abby Wasserman leads three intimate writing groups at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley, California.
Groups meet from September through May. Abby also offers two intensive writing retreats a year. The Fall 2008 sessions begin Sept. 10th. Call 415.388.4331 for information.
The Thursday Groups at O'Hanlon Center for the Arts are for all levels of prose writers. They provide a supportive and stimulating environment. We do prompted freewrites, read aloud to one another, and discuss our work. Each member has the opportunity to bring pieces in for critiques.
The morning group meets every Thursday (with some seasonal breaks) from 10 a.m. to noon. The afternoon group meets from 2 to 4 p.m. Both groups welcome drop-in participants occasionally.
Participants sign up for 8 sessions at a time, $160 for non-members of O’Hanlon Center, $144 for members. Cost of a drop-in session (by appointment) is always $22.
The evening group meets every other Wednesday, 6:30-8:30 p.m. All participants in this group are working on long pieces, memoir or novel. Participants sign up for 6 sessions at a time: $120 non-members, $108 members. Cost of drop-in session is $22.
The Writing Groups present a public reading at the Center once a year. The next reading will be Thursday, May 22, 2008, 7 p.m. Refreshments. A donation of $5 is suggested.
"Abby Wasserman is a wonderful writing teacher. Her thought-provoking writing prompts, gentle prodding, and keen powers of observation have facilitated deep and wondrous explorations, sparking the perfect grist for the writer's mill. I have so much appreciated her equanimity and non-judgmental posture, and her overt appreciation for her students' unique styles and raw talents. She has consistently provided a safe yet challenging haven for writers who require a weekly dose of camaraderie and an opportunity to put pen to paper and share their stories aloud."
Margery Kreitman, Writer, Performer
"Thank you so much for your leadership, kind direction, and gentle prodding. We truly appreciate what you offer us: a path to our own voice."
Stephanie Krames (Thursday Group)
