About this Event

Join us at the Archie K. Davis Center at 457 S Church St for an inspiring, hands-on writing workshop where history and creativity collide! Using real archival documents—letters, photographs, and more—you’ll uncover hidden voices and forgotten moments to spark your own poetry, short stories, or memoirs. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this immersive session will transport you through time and help you craft compelling narratives rooted in the past.

This two-hour workshop will include a brief introduction to using archival materials for creative inspiration, guided writing prompts, and time to share (if you choose). Once the writing session concludes, we’ll reveal the real stories behind the documents you used, adding depth and context to your creations.

Plus, enjoy snacks and refreshments as you write! Select pieces from the workshop will be compiled into a chapbook, and if your piece is chosen, you’ll receive a free copy of the book!

No prior experience needed—just bring your imagination! Spaces are limited, so RSVP today!
