You likely know how Amherst Writers & Artists offers programs, workshops, trainings, and support systems. What you might not know is that trained AWA facilitators offer their own workshops, workshop series, and retreats.
What this means is that if you want to write, you have many options - of content, style, theme, duration, and approach - all the while secure in the knowledge that you and your writing will be treated with the utmost respect, and you will find a safe place for your writing to land.
