September 2025 Newsletter

Autumn is my favorite time of year, and not just because of my birthday. School restarts. In many places, the world drenches itself in autumnal colors. Autumn gives earthy new start energy.

In honor of new starts and beautiful changes, I’ve created a survey that I’d be so grateful if you filled out. This survey will help me create the situations that you most desire. 

If you take the 3 – 5 minute survey, you will get a 25% off discount code to either the online or in-person Creative Writing Workshop.

In the meantime, check out our current workshops and our new schedule page!

Warmly,
Nicole

Instagram Flash Fiction Contest
