Over the years, the Writers' Workshops have resulted in the publication of over twenty-five books and over sixty articles. Our workshop is writer-centered, utilizing a highly effective structured model that is used throughout the world to support the development of writers and their manuscripts. The model is based on bringing writers together to provide practical and theoretical support to one another.

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 is open to any writer who is interested in bringing a Gestalt oriented manuscript to closure for the purpose of publication. They can be at any level of writing from inexperienced to experienced and their work can be at any stage from an early
outline or draft to an almost complete piece.
