Let’s get creative!
Our long-running in-person creative writing workshop has gone online! Join this generative workshop and tap into your creative side, write work that will surprise you, and learn a few things along the way.
- Generate new writing from original prompts every Sunday
- Get writing tips and learn what’s working in your writing and why
- Get excited again about writing
- Write for two hours and come away with new material
- Try your hand at different kinds of writing.
This online creative writing workshop is not lecture-based. We get right down to writing. We choose prompts based on the theme of the week, education, craft, and creativity value. There is no critique (as each piece you write is so new)–only much-needed positive reinforcement around the potential of each piece you write. You will also receive tips and tricks for writing better narratives. Through original and surprising prompts and craft discussions, you’ll write pages you never would have otherwise and learn creative writing tools along the way.
If you are interested in receiving critique, please check out our Writing & Critique Workshops or our Private Coaching.
Come to any session you’d like! The prompts are different every week.
