Writers Workshop

Over the years, many Gestalt writers have appreciated the supportive structure of writing workshops, which have played a significant part in the process of writing at least sixty articles and twenty-five books. The model is based on bringing writers together to provide practical and theoretical support to one another.
This year’s workshop will include instructional content, including stylistic points and tips on writing for publication.

Each participant is expected to present a work-in-progress for which they would like editorial, creative, or theoretical support. Manuscripts are shared through email to other participants prior to the workshop. Each participant presents the work and is supported by a “champion” or process consultant and a scribe. Feedback is focused on the presenter’s needs, wants, and wishes. Finally, contracts for next steps are created prior to the end of the workshop.

Benefits

Participants will:

• Receive high level feedback around their manuscript.
  
• Practice giving feedback in an appreciative, supportive form.
  
• Discover insights into where and how they may get stuck in the writing process.
  
• Learn how to make and keep commitments to move their writing forward.

Participants

This workshop, while open to any writer, may be especially useful to those interested in bringing a Gestalt-oriented manuscript to closure for the purpose of publication. Writers can be at any level, from inexperienced to experienced; and their work can be at any stage, from an early outline or draft to an almost complete piece.
