Write your story.
Multi-week workshops.
Accountability, community, and time to write. Our multi-week workshops are perfect for writers looking to build a regular writing routine.
Lorrie Moore once said that, “for the writer, the facts of life are like ingredients in a kitchen cupboard.” The cake we make is the story we end up telling. “That,” she says, “is how life and art are related.” No matter what we write, our experiences, observations, and inclinations are the greatest inspiration and fodder for our work. In this weekly generative workshop, writers will receive a series of prompts to help them tap into their deepest material and move them into a sustained period of writing. Afterward, we’ll have the opportunity to share our work and receive thoughtful feedback from the group.
This workshop will take place online.
Mondays or Wednesdays, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.; 10-week session begins the week of September 14th
Even the most seasoned writers have difficulty carving out time and summoning inspiration. This popular, productive morning workshop provides quiet, structured writing time among peers, a handful of fabulous prompts to get you rolling, and the inspiration to support your writing practice.
Starting with a variety of imaginative prompts, we warm up, engage in a sustained writing period (over an hour), then share our work and receive thoughtful, encouraging feedback. Each session includes writing time, craft tips, quotes, supportive discussion, and advice on how to sustain a creative life in challenging times… Come for inspiration, structure, and a supportive community, and make serious headway on your projects! Appropriate for all levels and genres. These popular workshops fill fast!
Mondays, 4 -7 p.m. or Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday mornings, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.; 10-week session starts week of September 8th

The Manuscript Intensive, with Dori Ostermiller

The Manuscript Intensive is a
year-long program that provides structure, support, inspiration and critical feedback to help writers complete a book-length manuscript.
The Revision Intensive,
with Emily Lackey

In this year-long program, writers will meet every other month to discuss innovative ways to see their drafts anew, set goals for the month ahead, and receive critical feedback on up to 300 pages of their work.
