"Writing From Memory & Experience" - Fall Writing Workshop at Gallery 308

Sarah Chavez, an instructor in English Composition and Literature at Ball State University, will lead a writing workshop on Saturday November 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. The workshop will be held in the Founders Room at Gallery 308, which is located at 308 East Main Street in downtown Muncie.

Participants must enroll no later than November 3. To sign up, contact Gallery 308 by phone at 289-8575 or by email at gallery308@gmail.com. The size of the workshop is limited so would-be participants are encouraged to enroll early.

The cost of the workshop is $10. Payment is due by November 8. Checks should be made payable to Gallery 308.

Chavez teaches composition at Ball State and has an interest in contemporary and confessional poetry, feminism, and gender studies. Among other things, she has been an assistant poetry editor for a Chicano literary publication, and has presented her work at creative writing workshops around the Midwest.

She believes that every writer must learn to listen and think critically and be able to express themselves in a creative way. "The steps with which I view the writing process are: Reading, Expression, Critical Thinking (Brainstorming), Writing, and Revising."
