OUR WORKSHOPS
Affordable, visual, and personal, The Workshop Series offers memoir writers and truth seekers original insights into craft and best-of literature, compelling writing exercises, guided tours of the self, a chance to get percolating questions answered, and manuscript critiques.

COMING IN 2021

 

ANNOUNCING A NEW SERIES: The Juncture Read Write Series

Nine separate sessions focusing on nine separate elements of craft, each uplifted by an essay or excerpt easily found online. Over the course of these 75-minute presentations, Beth will take a deep look at the central essay, discuss the tools of craft and wisdom the writer brought to the pages, and enter into a conversation with the participants about their own experience with the work. For each session, Beth will offer a single “five-minutes, five-sentences” prompt and then listen as a handful of writers share their newest sentences.

 

THE JUNCTURE WORKSHOP SERIES (Second Session)

For those who were not able to join us for the first iteration of the Juncture Workshop Series, we will again offer nine of those sessions, beginning in May.

 

GROUP CRITIQUE SESSIONS

We will also be scheduling five new group manuscript critique sessions.
