Writing: In The Dark (Northeast) ONLINE


Adult Enrichment / Writing -
Adult Enrichment Winter 2026

Sunny, funny, “happy ending” stories are what we often assume audiences want to read and hear. But the meaning in our lives also lies in our difficult stories: the secrets, mistakes, traumas and crises we’ve survived. How do we write and tell those riskier stories in a way that invites the listener in with honesty and vulnerability? This workshop uses readings, discussion, handouts and writing/telling exercises to approach the challenges of working on difficult personal narratives, shifting the creative process from intimidating to rewarding. Taught by writer/actor/storyteller Amy Salloway.
