Creative Writing Workhsops

“Not just writing, it’s a transcendental experience.” David

"This was just the “kick start” I needed to get back in the groove and start writing again!" Julie

"MeWE has encouraged me to take on a larger (and much postponed) writing project which is now becoming a reality." Constance

Next Workshops in Memphis

Sundays, 3-6 pm

April 5 - May 10, 2026

(skip April 19)

Downtown Memphis

It works like this:

  • We gather in person or on zoom (12 participants max).

  • I offer varied prompts and timed exercises to generate new writing, experiment with diverse forms (prose, poetry, drama) and improve our craft.

  • We write freely for the allotted time (between 5 and 40 minutes).

  • We read to the group what we just wrote-if we feel like it.

  • We give and receive supportive feedback.

  • All levels of experience are welcome.

Author of the novel Even the Breath (Lavender Ink, 2016) and AWA* certified writing workshop leader, I honor the courage and vulnerability of all writers by making a safe space and a supportive community for any adult (16+) who wishes to explore their own voice(s).

*AWA: Amherst Writers and Artists is a wonderful method developed by Pat Schneider. The organization offers group leadership training and certification. I have been an AWA certified workshop leader since 2007.
