This workshop is suitable for those who want to build upon an existing writing practice. We will focus on workshopping, editing, and preparing work for publication. Participants will be asked to bring work to discuss with other participants each week. A one-hour one-on-one consultation following the six-week workshop is included in the price.

Numbers are limited to allow for a constructive learning environment. Payment reserves your spot. After registration, you will receive a confirmation follow-up email from me with more information leading up to the first meeting.
