Writing Workshops

Public and private creative writing workshops and consultations are offered throughout the year. Short, two-hour workshops focusing on specific literary techniques can be arranged, as well as longer, multi-session workshops that culminate in a complete short story or creative essay. See the events page to register for upcoming workshops, or contact to organize a workshop for your writing group. Rates are determined by workshop length.

TRADES ACCEPTED: Trading is an option. I like art, music, dance, yoga, vegetarian food, plants, animals, and more. There are also plenty of things I don’t like but could use, like accounting and marketing services, or regular dental cleanings—just kidding, I actually like those.
