I hope you'll consider joining us August 12-15 in Kingston NY! I'm thrilled to be presenting two creative writing workshops this summer at the IWWG Women Writers Writing & Wellness Retreat, including:

Putting Our Grandmothers on the Page: Poetry, Prose, Persona & Memoir - Kelly DuMar

This workshop explores the theme of grandmothers—whether ancestors, ourselves, or figures from literature—using prompts from photos, objects, and memory. Writers will create poetry, prose, persona, and memoir to express complex influences and explore revision and craft. Open to all levels.

How Pictures Heal: Creative Writing from Your Photo Stream - Kelly DuMar
Using personal photos, this workshop helps writers explore emotions, memories, and meaning through creative writing. Participants will craft stories and poems that capture the beauty, loss, and deeper connections within their images, with all levels welcome.
