OK College hosts Writing Out Loud workshop

Writers will have a chance to enhance their skills at the Writing Out Loud workshop taking place in Keremeos.

Those looking to sharpen their writing skills are going to have a chance to do just that with the upcoming Writing Out Loud sessions being held in Keremeos.

Okanagan College, in partnership with Similkameen Family Literacy, are offering free registration for the five session Writing Out Loud series which will focus on developing both personally and on the page.

Everyone from seniors to students are invited to join the free hour-and-a-half sessions that begin at 10 a.m. Jan. 15 in the multi-purpose Room at The Keremeos Health Unit located at 700 Third Ave.

Writing Out Loud was developed by Deborah Morgan in Camrose Alta., and currently has two books published based on the method of exploring life through writing.

Participants in Keremeos will get the support of a group facilitator and all needed materials are provided along with light refreshments.

For those who participate, the writing belongs to and stays with the participants and talking about the shared experience of writing in the group is welcomed.

Those interested can register in Keremeos by calling 250-499-2352 between 8 a.m. and noon from Monday to Friday.

For more information about the Writing Out Loud program contact Mary Kiviste at Okanagan College (250) 492-4305 ext. 3244.
