The Writing Table with Adam Wyeth (Online)

Course Summary

This workshop offers writers a structured, supportive space to write, share work, and develop critical skills through guided feedback. Each session begins with a carefully designed writing prompt and dedicated time to write. The second half of each workshop is focused on discussion and feedback, where participants bring work they have already developed as far as they can and receive constructive responses from the group, guided by Adam. The course supports writers in building confidence, deepening their craft, learning how to read their own and others’ work more clearly, and developing a strong sense of creative community.
