Each week women of all ages meet to write and talk about stages in women’s lives—childhood memories, careers, love and family, and spiritual quests. The writers use poetry and prose to capture memories and to explore the richness of their lives. We write about important turning points--the lighter, humorous moments along with the dark nights of the soul. There is laughter and a few tears, and most of all the witnessing of our stories, an important component of healing and moving into the future. Women of every age learn from each other's experiences; everyone inspires each other to keep writing insightful and thoughtful true stories. You will learn how to choose your scenes, how to use fictional tools, and ways to keep the inner critic at bay. We write during class, and share our work in a supportive atmosphere.

Price: $380 Contact Linda to talk about your project and apply to be in the class. In this intermediate-advanced workshop, writers work on pieces during the week and bring 5-10 pages to class. We read aloud and offer supportive and intelligent feedback to help the writer develop the work to the next level. Sometimes writers are in a creative phase where a journaling entry is what was written that week, which is accepted as part of the process. Other times, the writer has developed a draft over time and needs to know if it is ready for publication or submission to contests. Attention is paid not only the skills needed to write a memoir, but also to the healing process that evolves as we write our truths. This class is often full, but if you are interested please call or email and see if there are appropriate online classes available for you to join, or if a space has opened up.
