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.
June–August 2025 (Thursdays)
I’m excited to offer this class again this summer. This 3-month online Writers' Lab will be a mix of generative writing exercises, short craft talks, discussions of published work, along with two cycles of workshop. Designed to be an intimate and supportive space for writers who are looking to get in touch with inspiration and play, while having structure and deadlines, this class is for both those who want the structure and support to write a new story (or two) from scratch, and also for those who are on draft 15 of their novel and want to reconnect with their sense of creative possibility, while maintaining forward momentum in their project.
