Upcoming Events

July 14-18, 2008:  Join us for our second annual summer workshop in Findley Lake, NY. In July, 2007, Tracy, Liz and Sara held six sessions of Around the Block at Findley Lake in Chautauqua County, New York.  Ushering in the classes were a reading and catered reception at Jennifer Mills’ Blu Saige Books overlooking the picturesque lake.  Each class met in the well-appointed dining room at Hazen Manor B & B, and the roster included folks new and familiar to ATB, all of whom generated superb writing, many ideas for future projects, and lots of laughter.   This summer Around the Block hopes to repeat or perhaps surpass last summer’s successes!

Here are the details:

AROUND THE BLOCK AT FINDLEY LAKE:
