NORWICH — The Chenango Arts Council, located at 27 West Main Street in Norwich, is offering a creative writing workshop series led by writer Christopher Dean.

"It's like a tutorial to get started in creative writing," said Chenango Arts Council Administrative Assistant Mary Beth Miller. "Don’t be afraid if you're a beginner or you’re like, 'I don’t know how to do that.' It’s beginners welcome, so come give it a try."

Participation in the series is $50 for Chenango Arts Council members and $55 for non-members. To register, visit ChenangoArts.org/workshops.
