Facilitated by Christopher J. Sparks

I grew up in Northampton, MA through the 1980s and 90s. I have always written but never considered myself a writer. My parents met at UMass, from which I graduated in 2012 and where I work today. I write poetry as well as some history and occasionally essays. I have been a part of many writing groups of the years and they have always been an important part of making enough room for my work. You can read my writing at ChristopherJSparks.com

If interested fill out the form below and we will get back to you. Its a good idea to have a few writing examples and expect to touch base over Zoom before being admitted into the group.
