Writing Group

Imagine what might happen if you had . . .

  • time securely set aside to write
  • a supportive community of other writers
  • a way to discover your skills,
         to develop your voice, and
              to write whatever in you
                   demands to be written

Join us and see!  In Write Now Workshops, participants will . . .

  • write together in response to a writing prompt
  • read aloud what we have written
  • identify what is compelling about each other's in-class work 
  • learn the art of nonviolent manuscript critique 
  • share outside work-in-progress with the group, if you wish to do so

For details about this method, click here to see my essay “Four Noble Truths.”
