What is a creative writing workshop? It’s an experience that encourages collaboration.

Writing is not a solitary act. It is a process that meanders and loops, follows a thread, back tracks, side steps and moves forward. The writing workshop is a safe environment where ideas are born, tossed around, shaped, and polished.

And then there’s feedback. My dear friend and colleague, Joni B. Cole, wrote an entire book about feedback–here’s her definition: Feedback is anything that helps the writer write more, write better and have fun. No one writes well in a vacuum, and who wants to anyway?

Express Yourself

You have a lot to say and there are many ways of saying it. There is no right or wrong way in a creative writing workshop.

Enjoy the Experience

The goal is to have fun while you improve your writing skills.  All that is required is that you are open to the process and are willing to explore.

Writing is a process of discovery; if you are open to taking a detour now and again, there is no end to the wonders you will find. Take the journey with us!

“I attended a creative writing workshop one summer with Deb. At first, I expected another workshop where all we do is work on grammar and the structure of essays; however, I was pleasantly surprised that we instead worked on exploring our own creativity. I strongly recommend taking workshops with Deb. She is an excellent teacher who provides helpful feedback about writing. She has truly helped me improve my own writing skills.”
