Over the five weeks, work with Brian and fellow attendees to
stretch your creative writing muscles, get expert advice on your writing
process, and incorporate feedback into your work.
The Writers’ Room
For any or all of the five
weeks, you can come and spend time writing in the company of your fellow
writers. There’s a special high-energy buzz you get in a room full of writers
all working on their own creations.
The Discussion Room
On November 9, 16, and 30,
Brian will be available for one-on-one discussions, brainstorming, and feedback

1,000 words) to share.
The Seminars
On November 2 and 23, everyone
is invited to join Brian for wide-open question-and-answer sessions. Bring all
your thoughts and questions to do with writing and the creative process. It

the subject line, put: Burlington Library Writers’ Room. Send your email to: brain.henry123@gmail.com (yes, the
