WEDNESDAYS, June 3rd - July 22nd
You’ve started something — a story, a memoir, a novel, a strange experiment — and it’s asking for more of your attention. The beginning is always exciting, but staying with it is where the real dedication comes in. This class is for writers who want to keep working on an ongoing project in a supportive, structured space. Whether you began the piece in another class with me or on your own, this is your time to return to the page, go deeper, and see where your writing wants to go next.
Classes include dedicated writing time, optional prompts to spark momentum, individualized craft readings and feedback from both me and your classmates. As part of the class, I will offer you a one-on-one session to help with any places you might be feeling stuck in your writing, using either coaching, teaching or hypnosis tools. As a hypnotherapist and coach, I know that there is more to finishing a book than just buckling down and doing it, writing involves creative, emotional and community support.
Asynchronous learning materials for this class will be available online (via the Wet Ink platform). Scheduled class sessions will take place via Zoom. Registered students, please contact the instructor directly for Zoom details. Instructor contact details can be found in the order confirmation email.
