WRITING WORKSHOP
(AGE 18-130)
 
From my cozy living room in East Santa Rosa, please join me for two hours of creative writing, reading & discussion.  In this workshop we will elaborate on the subtleties of craft, creativity and publishing.  We will read poetry & fiction written by established authors, and we will write our own poems and stories, focusing on the honesty and integrity of our own work. Designed for the novice and professional alike, this workshop is meant to provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore writing as a tool for living a full and engaged life.  At the same time, we will learn real techniques that will help us to build a satisfying writing practice of our own and publish our work in a way that feels right to us. We will offer & receive constructive criticism that will allow our writing a chance to interact with the perspectives of others. 
 
 
A writing workshop at the below price must be comprised of
at least two participants. Individual instruction is always available at a slightly higher rate.
 
Sunday evenings: 5:30-7:30
$40.00/class OR five classes for $150.00
 
 
 

California Poets in the Schools (CPITS)

In 2007 I began teaching with California Poets in the Schools.

A typical classroom poetry workshop involves five, hour-long sessions.  In these classes, students read the poetry of established poets, write their own poems, keep a poetry portfolio, and share their poetry with an audience (their class.)  In these very special workshops, students are awakening a creativity that is unbelievably exciting and interesting for both students and teachers.  The poems that emerge from these workshops will astound you with their open-heartedness, and their clarity.  These workshops are wonderful for students grades 3-12.  Before getting in touch, please check to make sure that there is not already a CPITS poet-teacher at your school.  I can check on this as well, and put you in touch with your school's poet.  If there is not a poet-teacher already working at your school,  please do contact me.

I will be eager to discuss a workshop series and a payment plan that work for you and your school.  Matching grants are sometimes available.

Tutoring, Individual or Small Group Instruction

I am availabe to tutor students of all ages in reading, writing and comprehension.  I am available to tutor younger children in all subjects.  I aim to make these sessions fun, engaging, and well worth your time.  I'm happy to travel to your house, or meet at the library or other public place.  Contact me to discuss rates & details.

Please contact me for rates, scheduling, and meeting locations.

Creative Writing Instruction

I am available to teach one-on-one, or small group poetry classes to writing students of all ages.  These individualized classes are geared towards awakening the creative voice through the written word, freeing oneself from the inhibitions of the internal editor, and using poetry, and writing, as an important form of self-realization and self-expression. 

Please contact me for rates, scheduling, and meeting locations.
