Upcoming Workshops
These writing workshops are designed to help you sustain your writing practice, develop fruitful habits, and grow with your projects. While feedback and thoughtful engagement with each others' work are central to the model, the aim of these classes is to create a space of consistency, accountability, and community that helps you prioritize your writing in the midst of busyness and distraction.
January–August 2026 (Thursdays)
Every novel is its own beast.
Writing and workshopping a novel are like driving blind. No one, least of all you, can tell you if your structure holds, because no one has seen enough to know. This can keep you circling back to rework the opening, again and again, or pause to outline it, or put it away to marinate. Years can go by like this.
What if you could finish a full draft of your novel in 8 months—while getting feedback on what’s alive while you’re writing it?
This class gives you weekly deadlines that keep you moving forward instead of circling back, and the chance to workshop 100 pages—enough that readers can see your narrative arc, understand your vision, and give you feedback on what you're creating, not just a fragment of it. You'll finish a draft in 8 months, with a cohort of writers who will be working alongside you, examining and discussing the problems specific to writing novels, and helping you find the way to your novel’s truest form.
If you’re ready to invest in your book this year, and to prioritize it, this class is for you. It’s time to finish your novel.
January–April 2026 (Mondays)
What is the collective noun for writers?
A misery? A procrastination? An angst?
What if it could be different?
This spring I'm offering another 4-month Writers' Lab for a small group of writers (open genre) who want to write and learn and grow in their craft. Through generative exercises, craft discussions, and two cycles of workshop, we'll focus on the work—both how to make it and how to sustain it.
Whether you're looking for structure to help writing happen consistently, or you’re deep in a novel and think you may never finish it, or applying to MFA programs, or simply want to connect with others who are engaged in this difficult and ennobling creative practice, the class will be a space where writers can grow in their work through guidance by me and community with each other.
You don't have to write alone. In fact, no book is written alone. Perhaps the best collective noun for writers is: an inspiration.
