MOHAI Writers' Seminar

Museum Writers' Seminar

Seattle's Museum of History & Industry has offered the Nearby History program for nine years, helping researchers and writers, working on "nearby" projects. "Nearby" means personal, not just close to home.

Each fall, we offer a writers' seminar on ten successive Sunday afternoons, in which fifteen writers work together on their projects, sharing their drafts. This year the program will run from October 7 through December 9, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

This program is stimulating, warm and encouraging. This year, writers are working on biography and history topics in New Hampshire, New York City, Seattle and Minnesota, as well as elsewhere.

The museum had a full class with a waiting list three weeks ago, but now two fine writers have had to drop out. Participation in the seminar is limited to writers who have either taken the museum's introduction to Nearby History or who have completed the UW Family History program.

If you would like to write this fall and would like more information,
