Free from the Heart

Nancy Slonim Aronie teaches a writing workshop called Straight from the Heart designed to help students find their own voice and write without worry. Beginning next week she will take a page from her own playbook by offering straight from her heart a free writing workshop.

Writing is about mining for gold, Ms. Aronie says and for that you have to be able to dig deep. In this workshop, a condensed version of her 12-hour summer session, she will help students learn how to banish their inner critic and to release their inner storytellers.

The first workshop takes place on Wednesday, March 23 at 5:30 p.m. The subsequent sessions are on April 6 and April 20. Participants are asked to attend all three sessions.

The Workshop is sponsored by the Friends of the Chilmark Public Library. Call the library at 508-645-3360 for more details.
