This six-week workshop is for folks at all levels who want to write—in any genre or style—in community in an encouraging, gentle, and exploratory way.
We’ll build our fluency and skill with carefully-selected prompts and exercises, as well as by learning to listen like a writer for what’s strong in each other’s work. We’ll connect to ourselves and each other and will remember why we enjoy writing in the first place.

We will respond only with positive feedback, naming what’s working well in each other’s just-written work. We will treat all work as fiction, talking about the writing as opposed to the writer. We can always choose not to share, and the leader of the workshop will write and share along with everyone else. We will come away more confident in ourselves as writers—a writer being someone who writes.
