→PRACTICE SPACE WRITING WORKSHOPS←

How do we write (in) the present moment? How, as writers, can our practice encourage us to act as conduits for the unstable present and possible future? How can we write the past without conceding to nostalgia’s flattening effects? These are just some of the questions fuel discussion and written exploration in these 7-8 week workshops. Workshop members will spend time both writing generatively together and reading and responding to each other’s work in the spirit of supportive critique. We’ll also read and discuss brief published works and consider other-than-text media. All experience levels and genres/styles of sentence-based writing welcome.

Summer workshops held in Sara’s backyard in N. Portland. Winter workshops at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art. 2027 dates coming soon!

Announcing…PRIVATE PRACTICE

Do you have a writing project still in its formative stages that you’d like to gain momentum on? Have you taken some time away from writing—or are you coming to writing for the first time—and could use some structure and guidance as you get going? Sign up for Private Practice—one-on-one weekly sessions designed to help you get your writing-legs under you.

Each Private Practice series will be designed specifically with your needs in mind. Some writers might choose to focus exclusively on developing/revising one particular piece, while others might be interested in doing generative work, or practicing reading as a writer. Private Practice is also a great choice for writers working on applying to MFA programs, residencies, etc.
