The Brandywine Hundred Writers Conference will be held on Saturday September 13th from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the Brandywine Library in Wilmington, Delaware. The conference offers six workshops on the craft and business of writing.

Conference is Saturday, September 13 from 10 to 4:00 pm. Followed by a Writers’ Open Mic on Sunday, September 14 from 1 to 3:00 pm.

Join us for a day of workshops and discussions for writers of all levels and genres with activities designed to encourage and inspire you to write. Get down on paper that story, that memory, that vision you want to share. Lunch will be provided. While attendance is free, registration is required. This day of workshops and discussion for writers is spearheaded by Jamie J. Brunson, coordinator of The Wright Touch writers’ group which meets monthly at the library. Brunson is also executive director of First Person Arts in Philadelphia. This conference is generously supported by the Brandywine Library staff, New Castle County Libraries, the Delaware Division of the Arts and the Friends of the Brandywine Library.

At 1:30 pm, I will lead a poetry workshop designed to sharpen visual details in your writing and stretch your use of language. We’ll mimic images we love in our favorite poems. Or in a new favorite poem–I will supply plenty of models. Our goal is to learn some craft and to have fun writing. Everyone, including newcomers to the art of poetry, is welcome to join me.

You can chat with other workshop leaders at the Brandywine Hundred Writers Conference event page on Facebook.

Call: Brandywine Hundred Library, 302-477-3150 to register.
