You are invited to sample any of the workshops listed in the Sample Workshops session below free of cost with no obligation. You will receive the exercises by email, send them back to me for feedback, and at the end of the workshop I'll check in with you by phone to discuss the exercises, your work, and any questions you may have. If you wish to continue with the full version of the workshop we can discuss it at that time, but there is no obligation whatsoever to do so. It is the mission of Write Here to encourage writers toward self-expression through creative writing. I know how difficult it is to get started, or to keep going. This is my way of urging you on.

The InExpressible Joy of Writing - Creative writing can be many things. Sometimes it haunts us as a "should," as in "I should write more," "I should write better." It can be an intimidating seductress that draws us in but raises doubts and fears. It's time to lighten up and have fun with your writing. In this playful workshop we'll explore and experiment. Leave our internal critic inside the closet. We won't talk about whether what we're writing is "good" or if we're using correct grammar. We'll turn loose the imp to remind ourselves why we want to write—for the pure joy of it. 6 sessions: $80
Writing From the Well - Our best writing comes from a source deep within us. It lies below the level of our often-repeated stories, the memories that swim close to the surface. Accessing the clear, still water that lies at our core requires a commitment to writing our own truth, no matter what sediment it may stir up. It's this honesty that helps to heal us and resonates on a deep level with our reader. In this workshop we'll explore the depths and write from the well within. 6 sessions: $100
Writing Through the Block - If there's a piece of writing you're stuck on or if your muse is in hiding, we'll work together to get you going. Prompts, timed exercises and new approaches will have you accessing deeper levels to come up with fresh writing at each session. 6 sessions $80
