DETAILS
Write With Us, the Journey With Me online program, is based on the proven original program, with an easy-to-use online format. It is the answer for people 55+ living independently who seek an inspiring creative writing program designed for their age bracket.
The first session is an eight-week program led by Journey With Me staff Fran Lyons and Kathleen Labonville. (See the About Us page to learn more about Fran and Kathleen). During these eight weeks, participants learn the essential components of good writing in a relaxed, grassroots atmosphere.
As leaders, Fran and Kathleen, will help participants find their voice in writing and help them get their stories down in a way that will interest readers. In addition, each participant will critique everybody else’s work on our very user-friendly site (it’s as easy as clicking a button!). In this way, a true online workshop is developed in which authors receive feedback from everyone in the class, students and leader alike.
Journey With Me is beloved for its linking of generations. This essence is not lost when the program moves online in Write With Us. Journey With Me staff will find an intern to work with each online group. The intern student will bring a different perspective to the class, and the generations will learn from one another. This linking of generations has proven valuable to all involved, greatly enriching the writing experience as life values are shared and discussed.
The optional second session of Write With Us is a six-week program led by a Featured Writer, such as Geoffrey Douglas. This work is more intensive and will really take writers to a new level with the help of the professional, experienced writer. Here the teacher and student work one-on-one via the user-friendly website.
It is not required that participants take both sessions, however participants who would like to enroll in session two must complete session one first so that they have the necessary skills to begin session two.
