Creative Writing Workshops

You Can Run Yourself

COMING MARCH 2025

Turnkey Writing Workshops for Libraries & Classrooms

As a former programming librarian turned writing instructor, I know the struggle firsthand:

  • Your patrons want fresh, meaningful programs.

  • Your budget is tight.

  • Your time is even tighter.

  • And you’re expected to be a subject expert in… everything.

That’s exactly why I’m launching Write Your Way: Creative Writing Workshops You Can Run Yourself — a new line of budget-friendly, pre-built program packages designed specifically for librarians and educators.

Why This Exists

For years, libraries have booked me to teach live creative writing workshops. But I kept hearing the same thing:

“I wish I could run your workshops myself —
we just don’t have the time, budget, or staff.”

So I built a solution from a librarian’s perspective:

  • Understand the pressure to stretch every programming dollar

  • Know the reality of running programs on limited staff

  • Know how intimidating it can feel to teach writing without training

  • Understand the challenges of community needs: beginners, mixed ages, low attendance, rural internet, and more

These packages remove the guesswork and give you everything you need to run a polished, engaging creative writing workshop on your own terms.

What You’ll Get (All in One)

Each workshop kit includes:

  • Full slide deck (ready to present)

  • Detailed facilitator notes (exactly what to say + how to guide exercises)

  • Writing prompts with instructions

  • Optional video mini-lessons taught by me

  • Printable handouts for participants

  • Marketing copy for your newsletter/social media

  • A run-of-show structure (so you can feel confident leading the entire workshop)

No prep. No expertise required.
Just open the file and go.

Who This Is For

✔ Public libraries
✔ School librarians
✔ English teachers
✔ Adult education coordinators
✔ Small and rural libraries with limited budgets
✔ Libraries looking for passive or “plug-and-play” programming
