Testimonial from a Workshop Participant

Creating a Safe and Nurturing Environment

In my writing workshops, I create an environment that is nurturing and safe. I am dedicated to rigor and excellence and encourage writers to become fearless in the pursuit of the unique beauty and truth of their story.

Working with Marita Golden was a major turning point in my life as a writer. She saw things in my work that I didn't see myself, and she guided me with the unmistakable skill of a true master. But more importantly, she saw things in me as a writer--as the person I am--that I had yet to claim. She helped and continues to help me toward full confidence in my vision. My voice is stronger and clearer because of her support.

Write Regularly With Confidence

Becoming a skilled writer unleashes demons, doubt, fears and anxieties for which writers are often unprepared. Many who want to write fear they lack the talent or tenacity required of the dedicated writer. I lead workshops where these subjects are not taboo, are discussed openly and where writers find and create community. Through writing exercises inspired by my many years as a master teacher, participants break through the psychological barriers that cripple their attempts to write with regularity and confidence.

What attendees say about this workshop:

Now I know there is no excuse not to write. I now have a tool - power writing - to use whenever I have 15 minutes to spare. Thank you!

Elaine Thomas

It was fabulous!!! You have such a wonderful, gentle demeanor that encourages the quietest to talk and the loudest to better understand. Thank you so very much.

You want to write but you:

Don’t know how to start writing
You fear rejection if you write
You lack confidence in your skills and story
You don’t have a community of support

In this two-day online workshop, I’ll show you how to start writing and sustain a productive writing practice. You will learn that self-censorship and the fear of rejection are inherent elements of writing and that these impulses can be tamed and overcome. Whether you are writing nonfiction or fiction the elements of craft you will learn will inspire you. Most importantly, you’ll write and receive feedback from me and your fellow writers. The world is waiting for your story!
