Events & Workshops

Spend your noon hour with Grain’s editor, Elena Bentley, a self-confessed grammar nerd! Bring your lunch and grammar questions to the SWG’s virtual classroom, where we’ll take a bite out of common writing errors and chew on the “rules”—when to follow them and when to break them.

This event will be recorded and available on the SWG’s YouTube page for 30 days following the event.
