Eric Tucker
Creative Aging Arts Program (CAAP)
Eric Tucker offers Creative Aging Arts Program participants the opportunity to practice the art of writing short fiction and nonfiction with the managing editor of a small Nebraska-based literary press. Participants will be led through each stage of the writing process in a relaxed, supportive, and collaborative workshop environment. The class will culminate in the publication of students’ stories in a journal designed by the instructor.
