“A letter. That’ll show him!”

Jo March in Little Women

New for 2016!  Join me for my new essay workshop, online version. It’s guaranteed to stimulate and move you to a deeper level in your writing journey. And it’s perfect for people with busy schedules or more inclined to self-directed learning.

We’ll read essays by Annie Dillard, David Sedaris, Pico Iyer and Jo Ann Beard, to name a few. You’ll receive weekly writing prompts. Engage in online discussion about these. Unfurl from gentle, productive feedback on your work-in-progress. Each week we’ll focus on one of eight elements of the essay: theme, detail, scene, dialogue, language, voice, memory and pacing.

Give yourself, or someone you know, a literary gift. The cozy, warm winter version.

The fun starts the week of January 18th and goes through the week of March 9th.
