Playwriting Tools for Writers of All Genres

Screenwriting Workshop NJ

Writing Workshop in New Jersey
January 12-15, 2024
Led by L M Feldman

Theater is a transcendent, embodied space where we gather together to tell stories, pose questions, offer worldviews and illuminate the complexities of our human existence. This workshop invites you to dig around the playwright’s toolkit to enrich your craft, spark new ideas and expand your approach to writing in any genre—perhaps even be inspired to try your hand at playwriting. Bring your curiosities and hungers, your struggles and delights, as we listen, share, read, brainstorm and write in a nourishing, communal space.

*Limited to just 10 participants.*

 

“L’s direct instruction was useful, concrete and accessible. The writing prompts were excellent and flowed naturally from the instruction. She gave each participant just the right amount of time to share. I compiled lots of great material to use in my work.”
~ Joanne, Cherry Hill, NJ

About

This writing workshop is part of the Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway, held each January. Peter E. Murphy started the Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway in 1994 based on his belief that when writers leave behind distractions to gather in an encouraging community, they will make breakthroughs in their art.

Celebrating its 32nd year, the Getaway is one of the oldest and largest writer's conferences in the winter season, attracting writers from across the globe.

"I cannot express it enough: the writing opportunities that you provide are a GODSEND. We are all so busy in our daily lives–working, caregiving for young and old, surviving our daily challenges–that to have an uninterrupted respite to write and speak only of the craft of writing for a whole weekend is bliss. I truly enjoyed the Winter Getaway and its supportive community." – Karen, Highland Park, NJ
