Part book club, part writing class (minus the homework) for new and emerging writers who love words and want to dive deeper into the craft of writing.
Join me and Lu Sexton, two editors passionate about beautiful sentences and other writerly gems. We read and edit broadly, and our passions include literary fiction (Lu) and memoir (me). Lu is a writing coach and editor, and I am an editor and copyeditor. We are friends and associates and we love people who love writing and reading.
How it works
Here’s a handy one-pager about our workshops.
In a small group, we will bring you some of our favourite passages and look at why they’re so good and how they work. We will cover a different theme each session.
If you dabble in writing, are quietly sitting on your first manuscript or just love words, join us and other word nerds as we unpack the magic woven into compositions by some of our favourite writers, and consider how some of their tricks might boost your own writing.
Most sessions take place over Zoom, with some in-person sessions coming up in 2025 too.
We are planning to run new and repeat sessions in 2025. If you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive details when they are available, email me.
