For as long as I can remember, I’ve attempted to make sense of my life by arranging words on a page. Sometimes, a poem appears. Other times, it’s a longer, narrative piece. But where I especially like to dwell is the space between poem and essay, or what is called the lyric essay, or an alternative form.
PWN instructor Mimi Cross is once again teaching Choosing the Artist’s Path, a 12-week course designed to develop personal creativity and explore our connection to an artistic force greater than ourselves. We “sat down” with Mimi and asked her a few questions about this exciting class.

Happy 2023! Instead of creating a list of resolutions or setting new goals, we at Project Write Now thought it would be nice to take a moment to look back.
So much happened in 2022 that we are so grateful for. We not only expanded our team and expanded our reach outside of New Jersey (and even the United States), but we also were able to get back in person with workshops and events in our local community.

We are thrilled to share recent success stories of our writers and instructors!
