A Bloc of Writers, a Greenwich-based writing, editing, and tutoring company, will teach a writing workshop on July 29, 30, 31 and Aug. 1, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at the Greenwich YWCA.
The fee is $350, and you can register at eventbrite.com/e/summer-essay-writing-workshop-for-teens-tickets-64879581575. Class size is limited. There are several spots reserved for low-income students who will attend the workshop free of charge. Email Michele@ablocofwriters.com for more information.
The workshop is open to students entering grades 10 through 12. Rising seniors will begin, and get feedback on, their college application essays — and they’ll leave with a first draft of their Common App essay. Underclassmen will have the opportunity to practice writing personal essays before they have to tackle college essays, as well as review the Common App prompts and supplemental essay prompts.
The workshop will be taught by Michele Turk, Daisy Florin and Jen Deinard, all published writers and editors who live in Greenwich. The workshop is designed to familiarize high school students with essay writing, boost confidence, and improve writing and language skills.
