Who These Workshops Are For
A lot of people come to my workshops feeling nervous.
They’re not actors. They don’t think of themselves as writers.
They’re simply curious — and unsure where to begin.
That’s exactly who these workshops are for.
People often arrive a little unsure, saying they’re “not creative. Within minutes, the room fills with excitement, laughter, and conversation. No experience is needed, and everyone participates at their own pace.
“You walk into her workshop, and you know it’s going to be okay.” — Rachel T.

The Writers Hub
A welcoming writing workshop where participants explore storytelling, develop ideas, and get words moving again—whether for the first time or after a long pause. Through prompts, conversation, and shared exploration, participants write, connect, and rediscover the joy of storytelling together.
