Writing Works Workshop | Write Right Now with HMH: Procrastinators Welcome

Open to all mentees and HMH employees

Sometimes the most important and meaningful writing assignments are the hardest ones to do—for example, a toast or tribute to someone we admire, a thank you letter, wedding vows or a personal essay for college. In this workshop, both mentees and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt mentors-for-the-day, will play with techniques to help break through the pressure and stress of writing to get to the heart of what they want to express.

All will participate in the Active Listening feedback technique. Employees will also share the obstacles they have faced in their own professional journeys.

Bonus: Writing speeches and vows is a great career for a wordsmith! And of course, the personal statement is valuable not only for college, but graduate school, scholarships and many other important opportunities.
