Life if Pain (au chocolat)

Generative and critique group
It is hard to write alone, especially as we dive into our emotions and personal experiences. Working in a group can add a certain sweetness to this often difficult process. Together, we will create new work and submit completed works for feedback and discussion.

What I Offer
I am here to give you accountability and inspiration. We will meet twice a month online (Monday evenings), with two additional sessions in-person (pastries provided!). I will host zooms, create writing prompts, facilitate peer workshops, and offer resources in between sessions. I am available for questions on submitting and revising work.

What You Receive
In this small-group setting, your writing and writing life grow, whether or not your goal is to publish. you will be encouraged to create and share your writing in a supportive setting. Connect with other writers, jump-start or fine-tune your writing practice, be seen.

This package includes
Online meetings: 2x a month
In general, we will have two online meetings a month. One will be for prompts and writing and the other will be to read and discuss each other's work. 100% attendance is not mandatory and I will email the prompts afterwards if you need to miss a session. There is no pressure to share your work, but I do want you to have an opportunity for productive feedback. Whether or not you want to publish your writing, it can be important to be read and seen.

In-person meetings: 2 in total
For our four in-person meetings, we can start by meeting at my farm in Bow, WA. These gatherings will include pastries (yum!) and will serve as a writing salon with time to ask questions, discuss, and write together. I will feature a regional writer at each event.
