Come write about everything — the good, the bad, and the rest of it. No previous writing experience necessary. Molly will teach her technique for boosting your immune function, and we'll do in-class exercises on every subject under the sun. If you can make a grocery list, you can do this kind of writing. Bring pen and paper. Kleenex and chocolate provided.

A Voice of Your Own: An Internet Workshop for Women
Write Intimately, Truthfully, and Fearlessly in the Tradition of Mary Oliver and Anne Lamott
2011 dates: July 11 - August 19, October 10 - November 18
Tuition $285

In this six-week workshop you'll learn to listen for your own voice and nurture it, even if you've never written before. We'll look at why Mary Oliver and Anne Lamott, two very different writers, have connected with women so deeply. Using model poems, prose excerpts, playful writing exercises, and discussion, participants will discover what they want to say and how to say it in a way that is uniquely personal. We'll practice managing internal and external criticism (every writer's — and every woman's — bane), and discover who we're really writing for. Click here for more information and to register.

N.B.

In 2011, Molly is taking a sabbatical from teaching Poetry Boot Camp, her 6-day internet poetry workshop. It's possible that guest poets will be invited to teach in this format during the year. Stay tuned.
