Ask, Write, Repeat
A Free Monthly Writing Workshop
Bring Your Questions and Practice with Guided Writing Exercises
Ever wish you could sit down with a published author, do some writing together, and pick their brain about craft and publishing? That’s exactly what this is.
What to Expect: Two hours of guided writing exercises led by a published author and experienced writing instructor, plus open Q&A where you can ask anything: craft, publishing, submissions, markets, whatever’s on your mind. No presentations, no formalities, just writing and conversation.
We’ll Cover: Instructor-led writing exercises to get your creative muscles working on the spot, plus any writing or publishing questions you bring.
No Pressure: Participation is completely optional. You’re welcome to keep your camera off and just listen. No one will call on you or put you on the spot.
Can’t Make It Live? Register anyway. We’ll send you the recording so you don’t miss a thing.
Grab your coffee, your questions, and maybe that story you’re stuck on. Sometimes, all it takes is two hours with the right people to transform your writing journey.
