Creating A Writing Habit Without Creating Pressure!
A New 8 Week Writing TeleWorkshop
Begins on October 18. Only a few spaces left!
"My development and persistence as a writer is due in no small part to you, Emily, and the classes you run. I doubt very highly that I would have been able to sustain this growth if it weren't for your powerful, yet always thoughtful critiques. Because of you, all of us in the class have learned and are still in the process of learning this magical way of listening and responding. It's what makes the writing great and the class wonderful." ~ Michelle Burton

Creating A Writing Habit Without Creating Pressure!
This new 8 week workshop is perfect for anyone who finds it difficult to maintain a writing schedule or is looking to seriously jump start their writing. The teleWorkshop is open to all levels of writers and will follow this format:
- Each week you are given a prompt followed by a 20 minute writing session.
- Everyone reads what they have written and receives an in-depth critique that gives you options of where to go next.
- There is another 20 minute writing period to further develop your piece followed by another reading and in-depth critique.
- You will be encouraged to continue your writing during the week, although you are absolutely free to do you writing only in class.
- You can write from a piece you are working on during class instead of writing from the prompt.
The End Result: A Deeper Connection to Your Writing, Your Discipline and Your Imagination! This will happen painlessly, as you are not required to write outside of class. However, during the course of the eight weeks, you will develop new and lasting writing habits ― you might even become addicted to a writing schedule! And your characters and stories will become vital and dear companions.
The session begins Monday, October 18, 7 pm Eastern Time. Each class is scheduled to last two to two and a half hours. You can join a TeleWorkshop from anywhere in the world! Each session is recorded
This workshop is limited to six participants. 8 weeks: $360

"I look forward to the workshop so much every week that to miss is for any reason is a real loss. It’s like a shot of adrenalin that helps keep me going through all the minor annoyances and setbacks of daily life. When I leave the workshop on a given night, knowing that I need to rewrite what I have written, I never have the sense that I have failed, am bad or just can’t do it. I know I can. Writing, I've come to see, is like living – it requires heart and courage. The workshop gives me both." ~ Carol Katz
"The feedback and encouragement the group provides is invaluable. They often point things our in my writing that I missed -- internal inconsistencies, threads that need to be followed. And the group reacted so positively to a character about whom I hadn't thought twice, that I was motivated to delve deeper, and came up with someone very important to the story, someone complex and rich." ~ Michael Weinstein |
