Fiction
Both workshops are offered in both in-person and interactive online formats. Enrollment is limited to 10 so that each participant receives the individual attention she or he needs and so that a writing community can more easily form.
I offer two levels of workshop:
Exploring the Elements of Craft and The Practice of Fiction Writing
Exploring the Elements of Craft
The workshop is open to both beginners and writers with fiction-writing experience.
In this small (limit 10), real-time workshop, we will be writing together, sharing together, learning together.
We will explore both the elements of fiction and the creative process.
The atmosphere will be friendly and open, and will nurture your creative spirit.
Fee: Six Weeks (12 hours), $275

The Practice of Fiction Writing
Participants have most often completed the “Exploring the Elements of Craft” workshop,
but if you are a more seasoned writer, with a good grasp of the craft,
you are welcome to join us. I will just ask to see a bit of your work.
This mixed-level, ongoing workshop (eight weeks at a time) is for writers with some fiction-writing experience, who are seeking support, instruction, and feedback on their work in progress.
My role as workshop leader is both facilitator and coach.
I know that many writers are in workshops of peers, with no facilitator. And many of these workshops are highly successful. But others, especially those with members who aren’t really sure how to respond to writing in a way that helps the writer move forward, are often not helpful.
As a member of this writing community, you and your writing will grow.
You will get more comfortable with your writing process and rhythm. You will learn to listen, not only to your peers’ writing, but to your own. You will learn to ask meaningful questions. You will strengthen your writing voice. And you will discover, deepen, and shape your stories.
Most often, participants have first taken my “Exploring the Elements of Craft” workshop. But writers who have participated in other, comparable, workshops and classes are also welcome.
Fee: Eight Weeks (16 hours), $360
