This is not your typical writing class. Sure, we’ll brainstorm, write and revise, but we’ll also create our own books. We’ll even make mini books for a guerrilla poetry project – to spread the writing love across Tacoma. Designed for students of all skill levels, this course is about creativity and imagination. We’ll develop ideas, write original stories and poems, and have fun. You’ll never look at writing the same way again!
