Six Month Writing Workshop
With content developed and edited during the 2023 year-long workshop, Amy is now offering two workshops of six-month duration in 2024. These workshops are structured around a weekly lesson with video component plus writing assignments. From cultivating habits and practices that enhance the creative life to intense editing of work in progress, participants will have the opportunity to develop a strong writing voice with Amy’s support. Number of participants limited.
January through June: $1000 flat fee or $200/mo.
June through December: $1000 flat fee or $180/mo.
Daily Writing Prompts for 2024 ($30/mo or $300/year)
A writing prompt goes up at 2am AZ time every day in a private Facebook group. You are invited to write to that prompt in community with others. Like lifting weights, this exercise will help develop your writing muscles. While everyone is free to comment, this is not a critique group so much as one for encouragement and support. Number of participants is not limited and you are welcome to join at any time throughout the year.
All prompt writing limited to six sentences except on Free Write Sunday
Can you “say it in six?”
In-person workshops and writing retreats:
If you would like to host an in-person event in your community, please contact Amy. All workshops and retreats will be announced here as they are scheduled.

Year-long workshop and support group for those who are actively writing a manuscript. This support group will be based on Facebook but we will actively edit, critique, and comment on each other’s work via Google Docs.
Co-moderated by Juni Fisher
Private Individualized Clients:
From motivation to development to editing, Amy is also offering one-on-one mentoring for writers on all levels without the group dynamic. Tailored to meet your needs, whether you are just making the decision to finally write that book or are in the trenches with a manuscript, this service will be determined via email and phone calls. Email Amy to begin the process.
More dates will pop up here so check back OR email Amy to be notified when a new workshop is announced.
*# Writing Our Way through Messy Midlife (inquire for pricing)
A curated and moderated group for women only. No matter if you are in your 20s or any decade beyond, you are in the middle of life—and it is messy. This group will focus on developing the habit of writing our way through our days, showing up at the page as therapy with a strong emphasis on self-counsel, self-healing, and radical self-care. Journal and discussion topics presented on Mondays with fun pop-ups and check-ins throughout the week.
