LAKEPORT — Writers Circle, a free monthly writing workshop that meets at the Main Street Gallery in Lakeport, has again been awarded a grant from Poets and Writers, Inc., through a grant it has received from the James Irvine Foundation.
The Lake County Arts Council sponsors the workshop, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at 325 N. Main St. in Lakeport. The workshop is facilitated by former Lake County Poet Laureate Mary McMillan.
According to McMillan, many Lake County residents who are just starting to write memoirs, fiction, essays or poems come to the Writers Circle. They join with more seasoned writers to get feedback on their work, build their skills and find new ideas.
From all over the county, residents aged 19 to 90 have benefited from the opportunity to listen to other writers and share their own work. Some people come only one or two times, and others show up every month.
