Register/Apply | Tongass Mist Writing

Molly Barari Ed. D, M.F.A., Rapid City, SD

As a writer and writing instructor, I have attended numerous online workshops to practice my craft. The workshops I've taken with Tongass Mist are the best of the best - with quality content, insightful discussions, and ample time for writing and reflection. I appreciate that a variety of genres are covered, from memoir to fiction to poetry, and the workshops offer unique takes on these genres. The Tongass Mist writing workshops are the workshops I most prefer to take, and they are the ones I recommend to my students.
