TROY – The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is offering creative writing classes this quarter.

Writing Across the Genres with Meredith Parris is a way for individuals to give themselves the time to write while also learning from others in a writing community. This six-week class will allow students to experiment with several genres including poetry, memoir, short story, creative non-fiction and more.

Writing Across the Genres is open to students ages 17 and older. The fee is $60 for this six-week class that will meet Thursdays from 5-6:30 p.m. Creative writing classes start March 7

Parris obtained her teaching degree at the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Arts in teaching through the Ohio Writing Project at Miami University. Parris is passionate about education, reading and helping students of all abilities find their inner writer. She is a lifelong Trojan and is a past member of the Exhibit Committee at the Hayner Center.
