Free Writing Workshops
The last free writing meetups of the summer are this month!
If you’ve ever wanted to write but felt intimidated, short on time, or struggled to start, come participate in one of my FREE summer writing pop-ups and step out of your comfort zone. The workshops will offer a preview of our writing circles in a low-stakes setting.
I’ll guide the group through a writing practice designed to help you tap into your authentic writing voice. All you need to bring is a pen, notebook, and an open mind. The 60-minute workshop is completely FREE, but you must register in advance. After you register, you will receive an email with the Zoom link.
Register now if you’d like to join us!
These FREE pop-ups will be your last chance to join before Fall Circles starts the week of September 16. Attendees will get priority access to the Fall Circles. Register for the Fall Circles by August 15th to receive an early-bird discount and an invitation to a free pop-up event.

Here’s how it works
I read a poem to the group to inspire us. I suggest a couple of lines from the poem to use as writing prompts. You take it from there.
We spend 10-15 minutes writing to each prompt, with the pen never leaving the page. The idea is to get a lot of words down without pausing to consider whether the words are “good enough.” We try to say yes to whatever comes up and get comfortable writing as our complicated, messy, real selves. This is how we find our authentic voice.
We’ll cover two or three writing prompts in this 60-minute meetup.
At the end, there will be an opportunity to read a piece that you wrote, if you’re interested.
Please DM or email me. if you have any questions.
