Weekly Writers Chat
Initially formed as a just a group of writers struggling with pandemic lockdown but needing space to connect creatively, the writing chat I host via Zoom has brought together writers of all genres, and all skill levels for one hour each week. Join us if you want:
answers to your craft quandaries
Effective writing has a lot of elements. I take questions and lead discussion about elements of craft like characterization, avoiding info dump, managing tension, writing effective dialogue and more. I give advice for writing clear, engaging prose with examples and that uses your own writing to provide examples.
constructive feedback on your WIP
Workshop participants can submit scenes from their work in progress, and receive constructive feedback and encouragement from all the group members (or just me, if you prefer).
writing prompts
Writing prompts posted monthly might have you riffing off a word, idea, or image, or crafting a particular type of scene. Then we workshop the scenes for feedback and encouragement.
all genres, all skill levels
Whether you’re just beginning, somewhere in the middle of your journey, or a multi-published pro, writing can be a lonely life. We start each session catching up on life and writing progress, commiserating and cheering each other. Over the last five years, we’ve become quite close.

Prompts and news about meetings are shared in my private Facebook group Workshop. Join today.
