Private Writers Workshops
The paradox of writing is this: there is no magic to it and yet it is a magical process. Writing is equal parts technique and spirit; it is the intersection between acquiring the tools to do it and learning to dream.
Can you learn how to write? Perhaps the better question is; are you willing to be uncompromising in your commitment, to take the heartbreak with the triumph, to humble yourself before the beauty and mystery of language, to persevere in spite of self-doubt? I believe writing can be taught. I believe you can learn how to find your voice, create your characters, write convincing dialogue and acquire the skills to tell the story. But the spirit comes from a place that can’t be defined. If you are willing to delve into the miraculous, to take risks you’ve never dreamed of and to put yourself on the line, the rest is gravy.
I offer a wide variety of workshops for every skill level: An advanced intensive workshop, (submissions required for admittance), a workshop for beginning and intermediate writers, private one-on-one workshops, a quarterly seminar on how to find an agent, and my famous McWorkshops.
