The Writers Circle Speaker Series presents

Using Your Senses in Writing
with Judith Lindbergh
& Michelle Cameron

February 5, 2:00-4:00 PM
at Sparkhouse, South Orange, NJ

Writing is more than just characters, dialogue and action.
A well-written story draws you in so deeply that you almost
believe you're in the story yourself. To create such a rich
narrative world, a writer must master the art of deep observation. One way to practice is through writing with all of your senses.

Advanced registration is suggested...

$25/session if pre-registered; $35 at the door
$20/session for TWC students & parents

Register Today!

“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy. 
And we should treat it with the same status.”

- Sir Ken Robinson, creativity expert and author of “The Element:
How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything”

Why nurture creativity?

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is
limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

 - Albert Einstein
