Writers Workshop with Joseph Reynolds

Monday, Nov 24, 2025 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
The Mark Twain House and Museum
351 Farmington Avenue
860-247-0998

Participants will receive feedback about their original work from Joseph Reynolds, founder and director of The Sancho Panza Literary Society, and hear open forum debate and discussion about their pages from the entire cohort.

They will also be prompted to give feedback on their colleagues’ work and participate in each discussion, making the course a workshop in both creative writing and analytical reading. This is a six-week course, with two pieces on the schedule each week. The pieces will be emailed out to the cohort three to four days prior to each meeting so people will have the opportunity to read and prepare for the discussion.

Prose submissions are capped at twenty pages and poetry submissions capped at ten, but there are no other restrictions or guidelines- the space is yours to receive feedback on anything you like.
