About the Day
Imagine a room buzzing with the energy of writers who have come together to devote an entire day to their writing – YOU can use the day doing what your writing requires of you that day! Generate new material. Revise a piece you’ve been working on. Delve into research. Submit a finished piece for publication. Attend a free NYWC-style writing workshop. Sit back and free write. Or a combination of all of the above.
If spending an entire day writing seems a bit daunting, don’t fret. NYWC will provide support along the way. We offer a Writers’ First Aid Station, fully stocked with writing prompts and suggestions, plus opportunities to write with others in NYWC’s signature creative writing workshops. There will also be lots coffee to keep you energized, a break room full of snacks and good company, Wi-Fi throughout the space, and some pretty sweet prizes donated by our partners.
