Attention Queens writers—experienced and new-to-writing: Free writing creative writing classes taught by the best writers in Queens!
Newtown Literary Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting prose and poetry in Queens, in partnership with Queens Library and City Council Members Daniel Dromm and Elizabeth Crowley, is offering free creative writing classes.
The next class will be led by Jill Eisenstadt on Saturday, November 4th from 2:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. at Queens Library at Jackson Heights at 35-51 81st St:
“Looking for Trouble: Writing Conflict”
Is conflict the engine of all fiction? To consider this idea, we will look at examples of great conflict driven openings before writing some of our own. Further writing prompts and selected reading will help us experiment with ways to build on and deepen these invented conflicts. Committed writers can easily use this session to hone work in progress. New writers can discover a quick and fun method for generating stories.
Jill Eisenstadt has written three novels set in Queens —From Rockaway, Kiss Out and Swell — as well as many essays and articles for The New York Times and other publications.
One student in each class will be randomly selected to receive a copy of the instructor’s latest book!
