When you sign up for Pyjama Writing, you will be signing up for the whole week. This does not mean that you have to come every day — our lives often interfere with our writing! You will receive the reminder link each morning, but whether you can come or not is up to you. Also, if you need to come late or leave early, that's also an option with no shame attached! This is a place for you to connect with your Muse and your writing project(s) as regularly as possible. There are enough places in our lives where we feel badly about not being able to show up for ourselves the way we want to. This does not have to be one of them. :-)

Write Around the World – Time Travel – Writing Memoir
May 31, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm EDT
On Monday May 31st, Stephanie Curry and I are leading a writing workshop as part of AWA’s Write Around the World series, from 7:00 to 9:30 pm EDT (Toronto time).
Click here to go to the AWA website to register.
I’m excited to be co-leading with Stephanie Curry. Stephanie became an AWA facilitator in 2011 and we’ve been writing together for over a decade. I’ve read much of Stephanie’s memoir in progress and I couldn’t be more pleased that we’ll be doing a workshop in memoir together in support of AWA.
In this workshop, we will write to prompts that have been particularly effective in drawing out memoir material (my favorite genre in which to work and lead workshops!).
A Write Around the World workshop event allows beginner, emerging and experienced writers to experience a workshop that holds safe and creative space using the Amherst Writers & Artists Method. Participants will receive in-workshop feedback on the strengths of the pieces generated and of their writer’s voice.
Write Around the World is a once-a-year fundraiser to support the social justice programs offered by AWA.
Registration is by donation – $20, $10, or $5. You can also choose a different amount if
you’d like to make a bigger gift.

Time: 7:00 to 9:30 pm EDT (Toronto time).
