Discover Roxbury is partnering with Grub Street offering a writing workshop for new and practicing writers.  This class has a very clear mission: devote two hours to trying your hand at creating writing. Through a series of fun directed writing exercises, we will explore the terrain of fiction and nonfiction: mining for material, constructing characters and settings, shaping vivid dialogue, understanding point of view, and finding your voice.

6:00PM - 8:00PM

Where: ArtROX! Hub

Warren Street, Dudley Square
