The Peripatetic Writing Workshop, Inc, now in its 34th year, lands in Deal, Kent, UK June 13th for a 10-day workshop.
NYU teachers and authors Maureen Brady and Martha Hughes, as well as mystery and crime novelist Charles Salzberg, lead the program, featuring daily workshops, stimulating writing exercises, structured "quiet hours" for writing, plus optional tutorials.
Martha Hughes founded the Peripatetic on Shelter Island, NY in 1991 in response to writers' needs for quiet time and a place for writing and constructive feedback from excellent editors and like-minded peers. Since then and in keeping with its name, the Peripatetic has moved from state to state and country to country, meeting twice-annually in such diverse locations as Achill Island, Ireland; Anna Maria Island, Florida; Antigua, Guatemala; Siracusa, Sicily; Woodstock, NY; Verona, Italy; St Simon's Island, Georgia; Tybee Island, Georgia; Catskill, New York; and Deal, England.
The location of the Peri may change, but what remains year after year is the stimulating atmosphere and warm camaraderie created by serious writers sharing work and writing concerns.
“The writers were not only talented, but also terrific people, fun and pleasant to experience Deal with. The writing exercises were incredibly helpful." Maria Ostrowski, Deal, Kent, UK
