Two Interns You Say? Yes.

As the Milwaukee Writers Workshop expands and offers new services to the community, we hope to be able to provide a good environment for the writers of Milwaukee to hone their craft and their business acumen. In order to do so, we've partnered with UW-Milwaukee to offer semester internships in writing, editing, and other English-related fields. Our first intern is Grace Lanham.

Grace says, "As a young writer I have begun to understand what it is that works for me and what does not. With my opportunity to work at the Milwaukee Writer’s Workshop I aspire to construct my ideas in an organized and consecutive fashion instead of a collection of ideas to be designed as I write. I have found that when I don’t take the time to formulate structure and context to my writing, the story loses it’s individuality and purpose. Along with my diligence to plan and organize my stories, I would like to step out of my comfort zone; speak from new perspectives and approach different situations in my writing to broaden my range and creativity. My main personal effort is to continually renew my freshness as a writer. I look forward to hearing new stories and sharing my passion, encouragement and appreciation of all the aspiring writers and artists. As a supporter, I will indulge myself in the creativity of the writers with a sense critical inquiry. To enrich the community, I intend to engage in whatever will benefit the creation of a story."

We welcome her to the organization and hope she learns as much as she hopes to.
