Writers' Inspiration Lab


Writers’ Inspiration Lab

ThursDAYS, May 2 - June 27
(no class on June 13)
12-2PM CST | ONLINe

Do you long to write regularly but find it hard to do on your own? Maybe you have a project you dream of completing? Or perhaps you long to read your work aloud and receive supportive, in-the-moment feedback?

The Inspiration Lab is a supportive community where you're encouraged to dream big, experiment wildly, and make concrete progress toward your creative goals.

Each week, you’ll choose your own adventure: generate new work from prompts, work on something in progress, or read a short piece aloud and receive verbal feedback from me and your peers.

Rebecca is an extraordinarily gifted teacher and writer. She creates a safe environment where creativity flourishes. Each student is accepted and encouraged to express their unique voice.
— Marcia


In this class, you’ll:
 

  • Set a big writing goal and smaller weekly goals to help you get there

  • Get compassionate support for your goals through weekly check-ins 

  • Dedicate space to nurture your writing every week, whether that’s generating new material or working on a piece in progress

  • Read your work aloud and receive feedback from me and your classmates

  • Engage in discussion on a variety of writing-related topics


A typical class includes:

12-12:30 - Group check-in and compassionate accountability for your goals

12:30-1:40 - Choose your own adventure: write from a prompt, work on an existing project, or receive feedback on a short piece of your writing.

1:40-2:00 - Group discussion on writing-related topics such as finding and maintaining creative inspiration, organizing your writing files, revision, etc.


pay-from-the-heart tuition: $200-400

  • Full price: $400

I offer a range of “pay from the heart” tuition options. The price that is sustainable for me is listed in the middle, with lower and higher options available. Please choose the option that best meets your circumstances and what feels right in your heart. If you need a scholarship or a payment plan, please contact me.

This class reveals the strong energy that a community of writers creates. Rebecca skillfully holds a container for the group, facilitating an environment which supports flexible accountability, expanding creativity, and compassionate feedback.
