WORKSHOP

We offer monthly theme-based online writing workshops. Workshops are designed to create an accessible and supportive space to both emerging writers as well as those with an established practice. Participants submit poems for feedback on a weekly basis, with optional writing prompts also provided. Space is provided at the end of each workshop for a discussion of the weekly readings.
