Do you have a desire to be a more knowledgeable activist and skilled writer?
Led by graduates of the USM Stonecoast MFA program, a series of writing
workshops is being offered to adult writers of all levels and styles as an
opportunity to critically engage in the writings Martin Luther King, Jr. In each
session, participants will read a common text followed by discussion with the
class then time devoted to writing. Writing can be done in any form the
