Each week, for six weeks, I’ll send you a special writing assignment that consists of three prompts: a character, a setting, and a pivotal object that exists within the scene you’re going to write.
These images will be accompanied by one of six senses: sight, sound, touch, scent, taste, and intuition.
You’ll also be invited to a private online forum where you can discuss each week’s assignment and share your writing in a safe, welcoming space.
Sign up now. The first assignment will hit your inbox on Sunday, January 1, 2023 (or as soon as you sign up if it is after that date).
I will also send you my weekly newsletters about writing and the programs we offer at the school, which you can unsubscribe from anytime.

e’ve been offering vibrant online creative writing programs since 2010. Our holistic approach teaches writers how to cultivate a trust in mystery as they learn their craft, so they can have a healthy and happy professional writing life.
We believe that skill comes from study and practice, that magic happens when we create, and that our writing thrives when we are part of a supportive community.
