Our fiction-writing workshop featuring POLITICO health reporter-turned-novelist Amanda Eisenberg was postponed from July 31 due to the crazy flooding risk that day. Here’s the description:

Have you always dreamed of writing a novel — or even a short story? Are you a strong writer — maybe of briefs, press releases, or news articles — but don’t know how (or why) to write when you’re, well, making stuff up?

Join journalist Anna Medaris, head of the Association of Health Care Journalist’s New York chapter, in conversation with journalist-turned-novelist Amanda Eisenberg as they discuss the differences and similarities between fiction and nonfiction writing, why everyone should give more creative writing a try, and how to get started.

The pair will also lead the group in a few writing exercises and leave time for Q&A, mingling, and workshopping ideas amongst a judgment-free crowd.
