The Attic Institute Is The Birthplace Of Portland's Literary Renaissance

The Attic Experience

"I'd been terribly stalled in my writing. But what I got from the Time to Write workshop was an impetus to write, a specific time within a group of like-minded people in which to write in, and pretty much a kick-start to get the creative juices flowing again. The attendees came to the workshop from different points in their writing efforts. Probably, different points of view, as well. Some were new to the process. Some were more experienced in other writing forms, for example: one woman was a journalist; another, a radio personality; another, a poet; another in advertising. I found the workshop to be quite valuable."
