Amherst Artists & Writers

Amherst Artists & Writers (AWA) is an international community of workshops dedicated to the idea that a writer is someone who writes. The AWA method, described in Writing Alone & With Others, by Pat Schneider, affirms that every writer deserves a safe environment in which to experiment, learn and develop craft.

AWA workshops are generative, intended to help emerging and established writers create prose. Writers then share their work in a supportive environment where each voice is valued.

Area AWA workshops can be found at Kitchen Table Writers, led by Jen Sage-Robison, who also leads a workshop for mothers of children with disabilities. For more on AWA, or to learn about becoming a certified workshop leader, visit Amherst Writers.
