Write With Su: Now with an evening option!

Two meeting times in the upcoming 8-week session:

Saturday mornings, 10 -2 eastern, September 27-November 15

I have 1-2 openings in each group, and would love to have you!

Write With Su: Workshops for Creativity and Encouragement Cafe

How does this work?

During each session, we will have two writing periods of about 25 minutes, with time afterward for people to share what they’ve written if they’d like. Su will provide prompts, but they’re merely suggestions, not requirements. We follow a model pioneered by writing teacher Pat Scheider, in which we offer only positive feedback, letting each other know what turns of phrases, images, or other elements of the writing we appreciate.

What does it cost?

I request payment under a Pay As Led and Able model. The "regular price" of my workshop is $300 for eight weeks. If you can afford that, I can really use the money. That said, I encourage you to sign up no matter your ability to pay. Most people pay between $50 and $300 for an 8-week cycle; occasionally I have a participant who can’t pay at all, and that’s OK.

You don't need to explain or justify yourself. Just let me know what you've chosen to do.

I accept Venmo, CashApp, Paypal, and checks by mail. Your confirmation email will include payment details.

People are welcome to come to a meeting to try it out, and please encourage any friends you think might be interested to give it a try.
