Laura Veirs’ writing workshops are aimed at songwriters, poets and prose writers. She has taught these for years on her own and through Stanford University’s Continuing Education Series.

People should bring paper, pencil, recording device (phone fine) and an instrument if they are planning on writing a song. For more info,  see lauraveirs.com.
