Jumpstart Writing Workshops

Have you always wanted to write but don't know how to start? Has your writing stalled? Jump in and join us for fun and lively writing experiences.

Jumpstart is a writing workshop where creative sparks are used for jumping-off points to encourage and inspire writing. This writing workshop is for your enjoyment and can lead to writing short stories, novels, memoir, personal essay and poems.

 "I was excited to see iris blooming in my garden this spring. This first bloom reminded me of the work in Jumpstart and how Marlene supports the first blossom in people's writing".   — Linda

"The free writes really inspired me to keep writing, and made me feel like I had some talent I could develop."  — Sharon

"This type of writing is like dreaming; it comes from somewhere in your unconscious." — Terry
