Every Monday morning this session, instructor Red McClung has been teaching a one-hour creative writing class at the Women’s Center, a shelter in Raleigh for women experiencing homelessness.

Today, Red taught a lesson on voice: what is it, why is it important, what’s the difference between dialogue and narration, how can we glean inspiration from disparate voices such as Zora Neale Hurston and Jesmyn Ward…we’re so honored to have the opportunity to work with these women and that over and over, they come out on a Monday morning to talk literature, craft, and writing with us! This program is funded in part by the City of Raleigh based on recommendations of the Raleigh Arts Commission. Thanks for making this possible, @raleigh_arts! #raleigharts #raleighartspartners #arteverywhere #raleigh #writers
