Sponsored by Middle Country Public Library,
offered free of charge to any woman in the district

Workshop Description:
This shortened version of Herstory's classic workshop is offered for two hours every other week, free of charge to Middle Country Public Library district residents. Each session provides individual work with the tools that turn personal stories into works of art capable of moving the 'Stranger Reader'. Start to finish support is offered for book-length projects and shorter pieces, in a warm supportive community with a focus on diversity and individuality of voice.

Facilitator:

Erika Duncan, our workshop leader, is the author of the novels A Wreath of Pale White Roses and Those Giants: Let them Rise, as well as Unless Soul Clap its Hands, Portraits and Passages, a book of essays. Her portraits of artists, writers, thinkers and movers and doers were a regular front page feature in the Long Island Weekly Section of The New York Times for more than three years. She has received numerous grants and awards, including one from the Ford Foundation, for her work teaching others to using writing as a way of breaking through.
