Periodically, writers among Grinnell's faculty, staff and student
body take it upon themselves to lead non-credit workshops on various
aspects of the writing life in Grinnell's Experimental College (ExCo).
Among recent offerings are these three.
- Getting It Published
- How to Read your Poems and Stories in Public
- Writing the Feature Story
Keep an eye on this space to stay abreast of the offerings that
will make their way into the ExCo mix from time to time. Better
yet, if you're a member of Grinnell's community of writers and have
an interest in leading an ExCo class on some aspect of writing,
