"Creative Writing - Avoiding Cliche" is a creative writing workshop that explores how great writers reimagine familiar subjects in unexpected ways.

It is a class that encourages literary discussion, assists participants at each step of the writing process, and is suitable for adults of all experience levels.
Benefits
This workshop goes beyond writing. It will provide participants fresh ways of seeing, thinking, and generating original work elsewhere.
