What people are saying about our workshops
“The presenter was insightful, personal, and so sharp, it was a joy to listen to her answer questions.”
Cornelia, August 24, 2024
“The advice I received on working through self-criticism has already helped me navigate through that critical part of me. Also, being around other writers helped me acknowledge the universal nature of these kinds of challenges. That I’m not the only one going through these.”
Akshay, August 24, 2024
“The openness of everyone involved revealed that while certain blocks are universal, how we overcome them is what defines us as writers. I also picked up some clever and practical ‘hacks’ that can jump-start creativity and help us get out of our own way.”
Selin, August 24, 2024
“I learned that everyone experiences the writing process in different ways and that the things that block us are infinite, but that there are ways to navigate through them. I learned that motivation and inspiration don’t appear out of the blue, but you can make them happen; I learned ways to do this.”
