2026-2027 Adult Learning Opportunities

Beginning this season, we have two different options for availing yourself of our instructional opportunities:

  1. The Writing Life: These eight sessions are available as a benefit of LRJF membership at the PRISM or Wordsmith levels. For members, participation in these learning sessions does not require pre-registration nor is there any additional fee. Not already a member? Join at the PRISM or Wordsmith level anytime and you can immediately begin attending!
  2. Writing Workshops: Our traditional workshops continue and are open to everyone (LRJF members receive a discounted registration fee).

Please see below for further details about both types of learning sessions.

The Writing Life

LRJF Members at the Wordsmith or PRISM levels are offered the benefit of eight learning opportunities throughout the year at no additional cost beyond the membership fee.

Complete descriptions of all sessions are available below, including as a downloadable PDF.
