Seattle

1. Esther Helgott Workshop on May 6, 1-3:30 p.m., $35.
Writing the Alzheimer’s Experience: A Workshop for Caregivers and Friends of People with Alzheimer’s Disease

Write to develop a greater understanding of what caregivers experience. Whether your loved one is at home or in a facility - three thousand miles away or next door - writing will help you counter isolation and erase the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. Prior writing experience isn’t necessary. We’ll write in any form – memoir, poem, essay, fragments, lists, whatever you discover. We’ll use writing triggers from Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose about Alzheimer’s Disease, edited by Holly J. Hughes, Kent State University Press, 2009.

2. Donna Miscolta, workshop on flash fiction, June 9th.
Details to be announced.


3. Nilki Benitez, from World Writers Alliance, will teach a workshop on Book Reviewing, later in the Summer.
Details to be announced.
