Creative Flow Academy for Writers has been around since 2010 offering writing workshops for writers of all ages, usually in-person. Now we offer the convenience of virtual, online module delivery.

 

Dr. Ahmad, is the former founding Director of the Creative Writing program at North Carolina A&T State University; she led and taught in that program for twenty years. A blind poet who does not allow disability to limit her action in the world; she remains passionate about the subject of creative writing and the possibility for transformation through the power of the written and spoken word, and as a published author she relishes the opportunity to lead workshops and seminars on aspects of creative writing craft. Although she has retired from the university system, she still keeps active by writing and publishing and developing access points for creative writers by offering continuing education courses.

 

A consummate professional, she delights in the occasions to inspire creative writers to reach for their best, to go beyond what they thought possible. Dr. Ahmad will be the instructor for the modules.
