My April 2024 class, How To Be a Writing Superhero, will help you:

• Spotlight what makes your writing special

• Blast past what’s holding you back

• Make time in your busy schedule to write with intention

• Make plans to start… slog through the muddy middle… and work towards completion of your project

• Spot Writing Supervillains - and beat them at their own game

• Build a network of Writing Superfriends - starting with your fellow Writing Superheroes from this course!

My promise: 

My warm, welcoming workshops will bring out the excellence in your writing – and the best in you as a writer. I offer smart, clear, supportive critique with great respect for each artist. I want to help you discover the joy of crafting top-notch work.

Whatever your writing genre or style – and whatever your particular strengths or blocks – I will help you reconnect with your passion for writing and express the excellence that is uniquely you.
