THE WRITER'S SPARK: WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR EVERYONE
Banish your inner critic!
Embrace your innate ability to write stories!
Unleash the hounds of memory!
The Writer's Spark is a writing workshop for everyone--those of us who identify as writers and those of us who don't. In these workshops, we concentrate on re-connecting to that place in our past where we just made things, without asking the question: "Is this any good?" Freeing ourselves from that critical voice allows your stories to reveal themselves to you in unexpected ways. Inspired by the work and teaching of Lynda Barry, (artist and author of What It Is, The Good Times Are Killing Me, and Picture This, among others), participants in these workshops write, draw, color, and more. Anything Can Happen!!
"Writing should take you for a ride."
--Lynda Barry

A Writer's Spark is a collaboration with the Northampton Center for the Arts. This program is funded by gifts in memory of Eli Daniel Nemetz Todd, a writer born and raised in Northampton, who died in October 2016 at the age of 23. During and after college, Eli spent three summers working for the Young Writers Workshop, a residential program for high school students run out of the University of Virginia. At the time of his death, Eli was living in Brooklyn, continuing to write, and working as a barista while he contemplated his future. He was considering returning to school for his master's of fine arts. We are pleased to honor his legacy by creating affordable opportunities for members of the community to engage in a diverse series of writing experiences with dedicated and talented instructors.
