L416Z  Writers’ Workshop
Wednesdays, 9:40—11:05, Mar. 27—May 15
Eight sessions
Instructors: Ed Sadtler, Margie Wildblood
Class limit: 12
This class uses a roundtable format to foster an environment for writers of all levels to give and receive encouragement, feedback, and constructive criticism. All genres of writing are welcome, including poetry, fiction, memoirs, and historical pieces. To each of these categories we apply the same underlying commitment—to write a compelling work that fully conveys the author’s intentions.
Ed Sadtler, a graduate of Shippensburg State College in Pennsylvania, has conducted many writing workshops at OLLI, and has taught poetry writing classes for the Lifetime Learning Institute of Northern Virginia Community College.
Margie Wildblood is a native of Salem, Virginia. She has degrees in English, Psychology, and Education. She retired from Northern Virginia Community College where she was faculty and a counselor in student services. She writes poetry, fiction and nonfiction prose, and is currently marketing a romance memoir.
