Page Break

The Page Break Writing Workshop

Your unique point of view matters. Take a break, come to the page, and share it.

I designed The Page Break Workshop for creative writers, at all levels, who want to participate in a positive and supportive workshop where writers write together, workshop together, and support together. This workshop is designed for a small group. If you would like to do a workshop with a friend or a couple people, we can do that. Each workshop requires two or more participants (the ideal number is between 2-5 people). Just bring yourselves, something to write with, and a piece of writing you would like to workshop (It could be an excerpt of your short story, memoir, children’s book, or creative non-fiction piece. It could be a short poem or two, or a journal entry, or a list of brainstorming. It is up to you). 

Write Together:

Each session will begin with writing a writing prompt or two. 

Workshop Together:

Then, we will workshop each other’s pieces of writing, abiding by one rule – that we emphasize the positive in each person’s piece. By highlighting the positive, we will shine light on the best in each person’s writing and provide quality feedback writers can use to improve.

Support Together:

We will end with asking how we may best support you in meeting your specific writing needs. Perhaps you could use an accountability partner to check in on you at a specific time of the week to help you reach your writing goals, or maybe you would benefit from help researching possible places to send your writing to for publication, or maybe you need a person to call, text, or email your latest rejection letter woes to, or maybe you want to brainstorm self publishing ideas or different ways to take your writing in new directions? We are here for you.

The goal of the group is to keep writers writing – and writing what matters to them most.

When she is not working, she indulges in good coffee, appreciates nature and the simple things, and practices the art of meaningful connection. You will often find her spending quality time with her husband and son kayaking down a river or baking something delicious.  

We all get stuck, and when you do, I can help. I have over sixteen years of experience teaching writing at the college level, and I have my M.F.A. in creative writing. I can show you ways to focus on the most important parts of your writing journey.

Sometimes all you need is a refresh, another writer to talk to who understands what you are going through and can help you process your thoughts and ideas.

Bring a piece of creative writing: a journal entry, memoir exert, poem/s, short story, or a blank piece of paper and a pen, and we will engage with your work, look at problems or obstacles you are encountering, and discover places you can go from where you currently are.

Maybe you simply want to get started with a writing practice and would like to write together and get out some content, or maybe you want to brainstorm writing ideas and future projects, or maybe you would like to get another pair of eyes on a piece you have been working on and talk through how an informed reader experiences your work and address what resonates and what doesn't and what some areas of development and ideas might be to take the piece further. 

It can be easy to get stuck in isolation. Now, is the time for us to come together to talk and process our thoughts, ideas, and creations. When creative writers talk through their writing content and projects, they often are better able to articulate and solidify what they would truly like to say and how they would like to go about saying it. 

Whether you are just beginning and do not have anything on the page yet, or if you are at the end of a project, or anywhere in-between, a discussion session can be just what you need to achieve clarity, rejuvenate, and propel your writing further. I am here for you. 

These sessions are:

Forty-five minutes to sixty minutes in length (If you need forty-five minutes, we can do that. If you need sixty-minutes, we can do that).

Cost: $30.00 per session 

All sessions are currently on-line (in light of COVID-19). After you purchase a ticket on this site, send me an email here: Christina@mypagebreak.com, so we can set up your on-line appointment (Zoom or Facetime) date and time. 

All ticket sales are final.
