Now in its fifth year, the Free Generative Writing Workshop is Iowa City's only monthly writing workshop that brings together adult writers of all levels to have their imaginations sparked by our area's most talented writers and teachers, at absolutely no cost.

The goal is to create a supportive environment where participants can generate new writing and meet others interested in the same. Each month a different talented writer-teacher from our area will invite us to write from an original prompt -- and then compose along beside us as we explore where that prompt leads. After writing, we'll have the option to share what we've created and receive feedback.

This month's workshop leader: Zoe Polach

Zoe Polach is the 2018 IYWP Fellow at the Magid Center for Undergraduate Writing. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and her poetry has appeared in Poet Lore, PANK, and RHINO.

Bring beloved writing implements, fortifying drinks, a talisman, and your own wild imagination.
