Loon Writers
Join a community of writers, of all abilities and genres, at our workshops and in-person gatherings in Northern Minnesota.
Wherever you're at in your writing journey, we welcome you as a Loon Writer.
Maybe you're in the middle of a memoir or collection of essays. Maybe you're starting to dabble in poetry. Or, maybe you're a reader who's curious about writing.
Join us in workshops as we break through writers' block, share prompts to get started, and study the craft of creative writing.

Workshop
Back to Basics:
Crafting a Compelling Story
In this workshop designed for fiction and nonfiction writers, we will go back to the basics on crafting a compelling story. Whether you're brand new to writing or have been writing for years, many of us can benefit from a refresher on how to keep readers turning pages.
In this welcoming 90-minute virtual workshop, we'll cover topics such as: character development (yes, this works for memoir!), scene building, keeping tension, and how to avoid endings that "tie it up with a bow."
