This in-person workshop invites participants to revisit writing as a fun and critical thinking exercise together. Together we write, learn smart editing skills, and structuring better paragraphs and sentences. 

We share comprehensive feedback (oral and written) from both the instructor and the group. Together, we will write, revise, and explore short  nonfiction, or hybrid forms; practice and interrogate the craft of narrative; and read some great articles. 

Workshop participants will serve as thoughtful advocates for one another’s work, offering engaged, constructive responses and concrete suggestions for revision. 

This workshop is ideal for writers, those who want to go back to writing, or want to start a new writing journey — professional or personal.  This workshop will be held in-person.

Saturdays, 10 AM - 1130 AM  EST; 4-week workshop begins April 4

The Writing Project is a creative non-fiction workshop that helps overcome writing challenges. From learning to paraphrase to perfecting your paragraphs to editing faster and more efficiently. 

The workshop approaches writing as a physical laboratory where you get tools that allow you to deconstruct your work, then use a variety of exercises and one on one mentoring to rebuild your writing stronger. 

Discover your writerly voice and accelerate your writing process with practical writing advice and personalised feedback. 

The program focuses on developing skills that lead to structured drafts, articulate sentences, and, importantly, clarity of communication.
