Friends, want to write together this January on Zoom? One hour both morning and evening, 14 sessions total, January 7-13, 2023. Join for any or all fourteen sessions!

Each unique hour will open with a brief reading and a prompt designed to wake up the magical inner writer. This is a play-around-and-take-risks-and-see-what-you-come-up with week inspired by my own yearly practice. No feedback, as this is purely for your own creative spirit, but we’ll reserve the last few minutes of class if you feel like reading aloud to appreciation and applause only.

You won’t have to take a week off work or your daily routine –unless of course you want to–but you will have fourteen hour-long opportunities to write in a focused, intensive, exhilarating way in a room full of others doing exactly the same thing (it can be so comforting to write in the presence of others). Limited to 30.

Fee: $200 (one half-price scholarship remaining). Payable via Venmo, personal check, or Paypal (scroll below for details).

Bonus: Weekly writing prompts will be emailed to you every Friday for one month after class.
