Whether you’re an aspiring author, creative thinker, or someone simply curious about exploring a new hobby, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) invites you to tap into your creative side this fall. Two new introductory writing courses at the DeWitt Career Advancement Center are designed to help beginners find their voice and gain confidence—no prior experience required. 

  • Beginning Writing 
    Monday, Sept. 16 | 6–8 p.m. 

    This engaging one-night class will show participants how to make writing a meaningful and manageable part of their lives. Learn how to develop a writing habit, overcome confidence barriers, and spark fresh ideas through guided exercises. By the end of the evening, students will be equipped with simple tools to continue writing independently.
