Creative Writing Workshops
I create high-energy writing workshops for classrooms, libraries, and community groups. Looking for something specific? I’d love to develop a hands-on experience tailored to your group’s age, interests, or curriculum needs. Below is an example of a recent workshop I’ve offered—just one of many options I can modify to fit your group, age range, or setting.

TEEN WRITING WORKSHOP: STORY SWATCHES
A creative writing workshop where color sparks the story.
In this imaginative writing workshop, students use paint swatches, word prompts, and a simple journaling technique to unlock personal memories and spark creative storytelling. Through playful, low-pressure exercises, they’ll explore how color connects to mood, memory, and meaning—while building confidence in their writing voice. And, of course, having a lot of fun! Whether students are brand new to writing or already budding storytellers, this session is sure to spark creative joy.
Perfect for teens and adaptable for a variety of age groups or settings.
“This was fun! I liked being able to express my creativity in new ways that I wouldn’t of thought of trying.”
“In this class I learned things you write down don’t have to come from your mind. They can come from what you touch, hear, smell, [and] feel.”
CUSTOM WORKSHOPS
Have a different age group, theme, or format in mind?
Whether you’re planning a library event, a classroom mini-unit, or a special one-time session, I’ll work with you to create something meaningful, fun, and age-appropriate.
Let’s collaborate to bring a love of storytelling to your group!
