Woven Word Writing Workshops

Woven Word is a safe space where I feel that I can really be myself. I've written some of my favorite poems and stories and met unforgettable friends.

What We Do: We start with chatting and reading poetry out loud. Sometimes there is an example related to a writing prompt. Prompts are offered including suggested exercise,s line prompts, words lists, and a group brainstorm. All approaches are welcome and no one is obligated to write to the prompts. We write for 30 minutes. Writers are invited to share their pieces and receive affirmative feedback. There is a social/snack break in the middle.

Woven Word is well known for its intimate, warm space. We build a supportive circle of writers learning to free the strength of their natural voice.
