Mamie Willoughby Pound is the founder of Gather, a writing community based in Columbus, Georgia that sponsors local and regional workshops and seminars. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing. Her work is featured in Smokelong Quarterly, James Dickey Review, Image Journal, Gooseberry Pie, Ghost Parachute, Bath Flash Fiction Anthology 2024, and Milk Candy Review among others. Her work was long listed for the Craft Fiction Award. Her chapbook was a finalist in Fractured Lit’s Chapbook Prize 2024.

Outcome for writers attending workshop: We will generate a number of short drafts that will examine emotional resonance and line level art.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and more advanced writers.

This workshop is best suited for those who want to strengthen their writing. Writers will be encouraged to use their personal experiences to craft narratives. Anyone on any level can participate. While there’s no specific group that the workshop is geared toward, participants will be encouraged to use their unique perspective and personal life to bring their one-of-a-kind perspective to their writing.

What will be happening in the workshop:

Mamie Pound will read example short fiction texts and potentially poetry. Then she will move onto writing workshop.

Participants should bring paper and pen or pencil and/or laptop, *and any book* (*one writing activity will require having any book on hand), poetry, fiction, or even nonfiction. Handwriting is encouraged for freewriting.

*WEAR AN UGLY SWEATER TO ZOOM TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS!*

Proceeds of this workshop benefit the Kerouac Project of Orlando.
