Such a great class! This was my first writing workshop so I was a little nervous, but it was such a positive and welcoming environment. Nicole gives great feedback and makes really great points when discussing everyone's writing. I think this is a great class for writers of all stages.

Description

Add meaningful creativity to your week from the comfort and convenience of your home with this energetic and engaging virtual workshop.

This long-established creative writing workshop, successfully operating since 2003, now meets online via Zoom to bring dynamic generative writing practice directly into your personal creative space. Unlock your full creative potential, produce surprising and original work that will astonish you, and develop dramatically stronger scene-writing skills and techniques throughout this immersive course.

Enthusiastically open to writers of all genres, styles, and experience levels, from brand new to advanced.

Develop fresh new pieces using carefully selected and thoughtful writing prompts
Receive practical, actionable guidance for writing more compelling and engaging scenes
Understand precisely what makes your writing effective and why certain passages resonate
Reignite your authentic passion and genuine excitement for the entire writing process
Complete multiple pages of original, polished material
Experiment confidently with diverse writing styles, genres, and approaches you haven't tried
Build meaningful community and connections with fellow writers and creative professionals

This interactive workshop emphasizes hands-on active writing rather than passive lecture-based instruction. We collectively select all writing prompts based on weekly themes, educational value, craft development principles, or creative exploration. Since each piece you write is freshly created during the session, we focus exclusively on constructive feedback and enthusiastic recognition of each work's creative potential rather than detailed critique. You will receive practical, applicable techniques for improving narrative craft and structure, and through thoughtful prompts and engaging craft discussions, you will write passages and pieces you never would have created alone while gaining applicable creative writing tools.

Skill Level: Enthusiastically open to all writers 18 years and older
Class Size: Purposefully capped at 8 participants for quality interaction
Prerequisites: None whatsoever required
Format: Fully online via Zoom video conferencing

It was my first time ever trying to write. The exercises given where nice and fun to do even though English isn’t my first language. The host created a very positive and safe space to explore your own writing. I learned a lot and feel like exploring writing further.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I was genuinely very pleased with the course. Nicole was a great instructor; she created a very inviting environment. The other two students present had been to the class before but they made me feel welcome immediately.
