How it's organized:

• Warm up your voice: quick & easy writing prompt on the theme

• Dive into inspiration with short, curated contemporary work we read together

• Discuss what we get from it & take a look at the tricks & tools doing the work (making us feeeeel something) in the piece

• Exploratory prompts to jump into your own voice, using those tools

• Time to share (no pressure but it is a joy to be with other people who just took the very vulnerable step of putting their voice on paper & sharing what you each got from the exercise)

• Connect the ideas to the world (where else we might see these tools being helpful, or the image the sharing brought up, or whatever we have time for that connects what we just took in or created)

With 15 years teaching creative writing and as a former editor-in-chief, I know how to help writers get to the meat of what they want their readers to feel. I have experience working with professional writers and brand new, first time writers. If you have never written, you will learn tools to start writing. If you have been writing for years, you will dig into where the 'you' in your writing voice has been hiding.

Online Monthly Writing Workshops

What it is: Monthly Online Writing Workshop for newbies and veteran writers alike

What you'll learn: How do you express who you are in words? How do you use your voice to help people understand you, the real you, better? Everyone packs the words they use with their own meaning, & we want to look at what you are packing, if you are carrying too much, not enough, or juuuust right.

What we'll do: We'll read curated pieces of writing on different themes each month - ones that inspire us to feel, reflect, & think differently. We'll examine what they did to make us feel something, & what we can borrow as a tool... Then we'll try those tools in our own writing.
