Upcoming Pop-Up Workshops & Salons
Curious about Free-Range Writing?
These workshops and salons offer a way to experience writing in community (online and in-person) without long-term commitment, pressure, or prerequisites.
Whether you’re new to writing, returning after time away, or simply craving a creative reset, you’ll find a welcoming space, thoughtful prompts, and room to surprise yourself on the page.
Want to know what a pop-up writing salon actually feels like? Journalist Darya Mead captured it beautifully in her feature on the salon.
Taste of Free-Range Writing
August 19th, 6–7:30 pm PT / 9–10:30 pm ET: $20, online
A playful, no-pressure, low-cost introduction to my approach to writing. Designed for the curious, the stuck, the returning, and anyone who wants to get words flowing again. The 90-minute session begins with a poem. I read it aloud, then offer a line as a writing prompt — a jump-off line that sends us inward. We write for 10-15 minutes, pen moving, no stopping. Then we go around the circle, and each woman shares what she wrote while the others practice silent, generous listening. No feedback. No critique. Just witnessing.
A soft entry point into the world of Free-Range writing. Learn more about how the circles work.
Space is limited. Come alone or with a friend who could use an evening of writing and radical support.

This workshop runs periodically. This will be the last one before the fall cohorts begin. Attendees get priority access to the fall sessions.
The Write Fit: A San Francisco Women’s Writing Salon
Slip into something that fits: your words, your style, your stories.
Wednesday evenings, monthly-ish. Slip into something that fits: your words, your style, your stories.
Write Fit is a roaming writing salon that gathers in creative spaces around the Bay Area. Artist studios, boutiques, community rooms, and unexpected corners that invite reflection and conversation.
Each evening begins with guided prompts and plenty of room to follow your own path. Write fiction or memoir, journal or rant, dream big or stay grounded. The prompts are the jumping-off point, not the destination. Then we linger, sharing conversation, laughter, and whatever the evening invites.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s making space for creativity, connection, and whatever wants to emerge.
