Writing Alive! offers a weekly writing workshop for women via Zoom on Wednesday Mornings, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm Pacific. We limit the workshop to four women plus 2 back-up writers who fill-in when regulars are unavailable. We have a certified facilitator (Dana Cunningham Anderson, MS) who organizes our workshops, provides stimulating prompts and helps to nurture our positive feedback process.
We are looking for 1 full-time writer and 2 back-up writers for this workshop. Are you interested?
We enjoy three full hours of prompt-based writing in the style of The Amherst Method for Writers and Artists. We usually write to three prompts weekly. Our approach is designed to bring out what is most alive in the writer, supporting new writing in all genres and offering the benefit of focused feedback — what is most memorable; what stands out to the listener/reader, what is working well in the first draft.
Writing Alive! has been offering weekly workshops since the Fall of 2014. Pre-Covid, our workshops met at The Center for Contemplative Arts. Now, all our weekly workshops meet online via Zoom.
Here are the basics for this workshop. If you would like to begin later than August 2 (this week), rates can be prorated for you. Please contact Dana for information about how to make payment:
