Prompt Hours — generative workshops in Zoom!

Hosted by me!

Thank you to all those who attended the first three prompt hours in October, January, and April! The fourth and final one will be held over the summer at a date to be determined. Everyone who has signed up for a Writer Membership as of May 29, 2025, will get an invitation to one last prompt hour workshop in the summer.

Price: Free for Writer premium subscribers*

What to expect: I'll come to the prompt hour with a couple writing prompts to offer you, and you'll come ready to write on the spot. My prompts will be open and flexible for any kind of writing: fiction or nonfiction, all genres, all age levels, poetry or prose or beyond.

We'll begin with me introducing the process and setting some ground rules, such as my assuring you that anywhere your imagination takes you in response to a prompt is the right place... We'll do a warm-up. Then we'll get the first prompt and we'll turn off our cameras and write. After writing, there will be time for sharing aloud from some volunteers.

If you've taken classes with me before, especially ones with prompts, don't worry! None of my prompts will be repeats. They will be all new, just for this group and this moment.

This generative workshop will be live in Zoom only. To preserve an intimate writing space and a bubble safe for taking creative risks and reading raw work aloud, it will not be recorded. You can attend with your camera on or off, and participate as much as you're comfortable.

This is a pressure-free generative workshop and a creative space to write together. If you want to attend, just have an active Writer Membership here at this site, and you'll have a free invite!
