My writing workshops begin next week. I have openings in my weekly poetry and memoir workshops, as well as my drop-in poetry workshops in person and online.

For the first time in some time, I can accept one or two more writers for my Tuesday afternoon Zoom memoir group as well as my Tuesday in-person memoir workshop at Niche Wine Bar. If you're free on Monday mornings, I also have open seats in my poetry workshop at Multnomah Arts Center.

Please have a look at the Creative Writing Workshops page of the Printed Matter Vancouver website and let me know if you have any questions:

I would also greatly appreciate it if you forward this email or share the link above with your friends and contacts who would benefit from writing in a friendly, safe, supportive small group environment.

I look forward to writing with you in the new year!
