Coming up in 2026

 

The 42nd year of writing classes and workshops with Rick Ohler continues:

 

Creative Writing Workshop

Tuesdays January 13-April 21 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Aurora Senior Center

$85 

 

Writing Your Memoirs and Family Histories

Thursdays January 22-April 23 4-6 at the Aurora Senior Center

$75

 

Both of these classes provide an encouraging, supportive setting for writers of all experience and ability levels. First-timers and veteran writers are welcome. Work on projects you have underway or let me suggest writing topics through prompts. You will quickly discover that the dynamic formed when kindred spirits get together for these two-for sessions provides an atmosphere conducive to creativity, productivity and camaraderie. Fiction, non-fiction, memoir, family history, essay, poetry, children’s literature are all welcome. Writers hoping to publish and those with a desire to express themselves have filled these classes for four decades. Class size limited.

 

 

Again This Year:

 

One-day Writing Retreats on the Roycroft Campus 

February 15, 2026    9:00-4:30    $100 includes lunch and refreshments 

 

Making time to write that story, memoir, essay or poem that has been simmering on the back burner can be difficult in a busy life. What if you had a day in a quiet, stimulating space where the only thing on your docket was writing? Spend some time on the historic Roycroft Campus and the nearby village of East Aurora, summoning the Muses, writing and, if you choose, sharing. We’ll begin with some warm-ups and directed exercises, then give you plenty of time to write. Work on a project you have underway or let me help you plan one. Limited to eight participants.
