Add some creativity to your week from the comfort of your own home.
I offer several online creative writing workshops in order to reach people who either aren’t in Los Angeles or who don’t want to deal with traffic, but who still want to get words on the page and learn more about creative writing.
Live Online on Zoom
This long-standing in-person, creative writing workshop that originally started in Los Angeles, now takes place online. Tap into your creative side, create new writings that will surprise you, and learn a few things along the way.
– Generate new writings from original writing prompts designed to help you get words on the page and learn to write better scenes.
– Generate new writings from original prompts every meeting
– Get writing tips and learn what’s working in your writing and why
– Participate from anywhere
– Get excited again about writing
– Come away with new material
– Try your hand at different kinds of writing
– Learn to write better scenes
– No long-term commitments – come to any session you’d like
– Not critique-based: There is no critique (as each piece you write is so new) only much-needed positive reinforcement and tips to encourage you to reach the potential of each piece.
