I love Summer's workshops! Sometimes I think I do my best writing sitting on her porch or--these days--gathering on Zoom. Whenever I participate, I always write something that surprises me, which is a delight. Summer is a warm and engaging leader, and her writing prompts are top notch. Participating in her workshops is always a pleasure, and I leave feeling more inspired than ever to embrace the writing life. --Lisa Colburn, Market Street Writers

​If you feel comfortable and are fully vaccinated, join for writing on my screened porch. For those who cannot gather in person, we'll be seeing you on Zoom from your favorite writing place. Limited to 6 writers.
Send an email to reserve a space.

​ If we cannot meet in person,  as I continue to be cautious, we will meet on Zoom.
  
Cost: $ 45 per workshop, pay as you go.  Checks preferred.  If you cannot meet on Zoom, payment may be applied to future workshops or returned for a processing fee ($10).

 After writing, an optional, complimentary lunch will be offered.

If finances are a hardship right now for you, contact Summer about a sliding scale.

​​"Whether your purpose for writing is artistic expression, communication with friends and family, the healing of inner life, or achieving public recognition for your art- the foundation is the same: the claiming of yourself as an artist/writer an​d the strengthening of your writing voice through practice, study, and helpful response from other writers.
