Monthly workshop hosted by North Florida Poetry Hub is open to any form of writing: fiction, poetry, diary, essay, play, stand-up comedy, rap, speech, etc. We offer a forum for the writer to be heard and, if desired, receive feedback. Any genre or style of writing is welcome, from the mainstream to the avant-garde.  The craft doesn’t have to be a solitary pursuit. Come share your words with others and feel yourself a part of a community! Your words matter!  Writing prompts are also a favorite activity at this workshop.
