The Eastern Shore Writers Association will hold five workshops in Easton this spring. In an effort to enhance the writing abilities of local authors, ESWA will hold two events at Trinity Cathedral and three in conjunction with the Evergreen Center for Balanced Living. These modestly-priced workshops will be held on Saturdays in April, May and June and are open to the public. All sessions will run from 9-11:30am.
The creation of the workshops reflects an effort on ESWA’s part to increase its educational mission, adding to the impact of its popular Bay-to-Ocean Writing Conference and its many Delmarva-wide critique groups.
