Creative Writing Workshop with Malia Collins

Workshop offering: Please join me upstairs at the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club clubhouse for a 90-minute generative creative writing workshop. We’ll engage with a variety of creative writing prompts, with a focus on memoir and poetry. We’ll write together and leave time at the end if anyone would like to share their writing. Bring something to write with, a notebook to write in or a laptop, and I look forward to our shared creative space and time together!

Must be an HTMC Member to attend. Reservations required, as space is limited.
