Through an agreement between South Coastal Library and the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild (RBWG), the RBWG will host a weekly FreeWrite on Thursdays at South Coastal Library. 

A FreeWrite is an informal gathering of writers of ALL skill levels who practice creative writing in a friendly and nurturing atmosphere. It’s an opportunity to have fun with writing and explore different genres with other writing enthusiasts. Each FreeWrite is facilitated by a RBWG member with experience in teaching, writing and/or leading such groups. Participants write brief prose, songs, poetry, and fiction. Some participants use the time to brainstorm ideas for their own novel or to begin or continue short story writing. Writing prompts are designed to focus on particular writing aspect e.g., the use of sensory details, using strong verbs, writing dialogue, etc. FreeWrites are open to anyone in the local community (age 18+). While these are sponsored by the RBWG, attendees do not have to be members to participate.

The FreeWrite facilitator is Paul McFarlane. On occasion, a substitute facilitator may lead the group. If you have questions please call the library.

Registration is appreciated. 

Please note:

We will be offering the RBWG Free Writes both in-person and online from January - March of 2023. The Free Write facilitator may be in-person at the library, but most weeks will be leading the discussion virtually via Zoom. We encourage participants to attend in-person if possible, but if not, they may attend online via Zoom. 

Thank you.
