FREE writing workshops are open to writers with any experience level and working in any genre. We’ll look to Nature to guide our process and be inspired by ideas from Ross Gay’s Inciting Joy and adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy. We’ll set goals, share supportive feedback, and build a sustainable writing practice through autonomy and accountability as we build community. Bring your laptop, journal, or other favorite writing tools (pens and paper will be provided). Come for each class or drop in as you are able. We’ll celebrate our work in a public reading. Held in partnership with San Diego Writers, Ink.

Do you want to see your writing in magazines? Would you like to receive a check for what you write? If your goal is to write personal essays and get paid for them, this is the class for you. We will go through idea generation, how to find publications that are right for your idea, and how to pitch to editors and locate their e-mail addresses. You will finish the class with several ideas for essays, where to pitch them, and with a list of resources to build those bylines! Note: We are offering TWO scholarships for writers who self-identify as having financial need. If you are interested, please contact Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org. Thank you!
