True Stories Writing Workshop


  • Santa Rosa, California USA (map)

Four Thursdays: February 20 - March 12

Do you have an idea brewing for a personal essay or memoir but missing the motivation to get it on paper? Do you already have a completed essay that you’d like to breathe some new life into? Are you in the beginning stages of writing your story but not sure which direction to take it? Whether you’re writing for your own pleasure or have a piece you’d like to send out for publication, this workshop is for you!

In this four-week workshop, we’ll discuss the art of the personal essay and all that comes with it– vulnerability, issues with confidentiality, self-reflection, and more. We’ll also engage in writing activities and have opportunities to receive feedback and support with fine-tuning manuscripts.

Love, loss, travel, parenting, humor, tragedy– all topics welcome!
