Readings by 19 local and visiting writers will be open to the public during the Meacham Writers Workshop, scheduled today through Saturday, March 3-5.
At the heart of these three-day workshops, which are held each spring and fall, is the opportunity for developing writers to receive support and honest criticism in group settings and/or individual conferences. The novices already have submitted manuscripts for review during the informal conference.
Events are organized by faculty members and students at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College.
