One of the many events of NWU is its Monday Forum. Its Thursday Writers Workshops kicks off this Halloween.

The National Writers Union New York Chapter formally kicks off its Weekly Writing Workshop on October 31, 2013 with the topic on Writing for Halloween/Horror Stories as its opening salvo. Novelist and short story writer Marc Abbott provides the lecture from 6-8PM at the Conference Room of the NWU – NY office on 256 West 38th
Street, in NY, NY 10018.

With these weekly workshops, the NWU aims to provide members of the union affordable skills improvement programs to advance their careers as writers, and to invite new members to join the union.

In the CREATING HORROR workshop,  Abbott will discuss the difference between two horror concepts-Supernatural & Non-Supernatural and how to create a horror story.  Students will learn how to apply these concepts to help jump start a horror story and begin to build it.
