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.
May–August 2026 (Mondays)
How can you write about anger in a way that doesn’t alienate an audience?
Is it even possible to write stories outside of human consciousness?
What if fabulism and autofiction are actually the same thing?
Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow refine the Writer’s Lab, and one thing I love about it is how it harnesses the group’s curiosity about the art of fiction to provide a space for unique craft guidance in a communal setting. Together we explore your craft questions, tackling challenges that are already coming up in your work (and each other’s), then the Lab creates the space to apply solutions. Through generative exercises, craft discussions, and two cycles of workshop, the Lab helps you focus on what is unique about your work—both how to make it and how to sustain it. We build community together and explore other student’s craft challenges that might open new ideas for you.
Whether you're looking for a new accountability structure, are trying to finish a novel, are thinking of 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.
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.
