Online Write with Diana Damato
July 21 at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
Free – $20.00This is an opportunity to experience the AWA Method online, offered by AWA each month.
During the two hours, you’ll write on the spot to a prompt or two provided by the facilitator. Then, you’ll break into small, facilitated groups to read your writing aloud if you’d like. Writing that is shared will receive positive, affirmative feedback from the small group. We’re cycling through Fridays 1–3PM Eastern, Mondays 7–9PM Eastern, and Saturdays 1–3PM Eastern to include as many community members as possible. Each session is led by a new AWA facilitator, with even more facilitators supporting with leadership in our breakout rooms.
Learn about the leaders of this particular session below.
One of this program’s goals is to be a fundraiser for AWA. Tickets are available at a variety of donation levels. Please choose the one that best suits your budget. If you’d like to attend for less, you can join our AWA Writer membership and receive eight online writes per year for $5/month or $50/year!
Typically, the Zoom invite for these online sessions gets sent out via email the week of the event and again the day before or day of. Check your spam folders, and add AWA to your contacts. If you are experiencing technical difficulties, or do not receive an email, reach out to our Technical Assistant, Danielle McKinney.

I am unable to figure out how to log in to the class today with Diane Damato. I am sure I registered, but I have not received an e-mail with the zoom link. I checked my spam folder. No there. Please advise. Thanks!
