New Page After Page Workshops July 25-26, 2015

Offered in a beautiful apartment in Greenwich Village, with inspiring views of the city, our workshops are productive, focused, and lively.

We’re writers (15+ books between us). And we’re passionate, committed teachers, eager to pass along what we’ve learned (combined, 40+ years of writing, editing, publishing, and teaching).

Our co-taught classes are intimate and personal. During the course of the day we talk deeply about craft and technique (handouts, materials, and chocolate provided) and also about process—how to prepare for a productivewriting session, how to get un-stuck, how to revise effectively.  The atmosphere is supportive, positive, and kind. Courses are content-rich and interactive, combining instruction and practice, discussion and response.

Every workshop we teach allows time for Q & A so each student’s questions are answered, fully. You’ll leave with new work and new energy for your creative projects, a pile of exercises, and a list of books to read.

Micro-Memoir Writing Intensive

Micro-memoir is a powerful,shapely personal narrative—in 750 words or fewer. Hone your ability to compress, focus, and write tight. And learn how litany, structure, and crisp use of detail can interlock in this exhilarating form.  We work hard and the atmosphere is inspiring and encouraging. During the workshop, you’ll draft three pieces using new strategies. We offer guidance and suggest prompts—but you are free to write what you wish. We’ll present unique approaches for revision. And we’ll give you tips for publishing these short essays.

Both Workshops        $540

Creative Flow is not a prerequisite for any of our other courses. We always welcome our returning students.
