Does typing on a typewriter and expanding your creative writing skills sound like something you would enjoy? Join Langley Shazor for an afternoon of learning about poetry, prose, and typewriters in one of the two sessions of The Casual Word – Creative Writing Class.
Published writer, Langley Shazor will be teaching a fun class about how to break past the common obstacles that plague young writers including peer review, in writing revision, vocabulary, perfectionism and more. Participants will work with Langley to tap into their creative capacity instead of focusing on technical writing. The class is sponsored by The Casual Word, H.O.P.E and Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts.
Langley is a Bristol, VA native who has been published in The Loafer Magazine, Inner Child Magazine, SocialJusticePoetry.com and more.
