JOIN US IN THE SUMMER WRITERS KNOT

Let’s Write Together this Summer

 

You’re a writer.
Or, you could be—if you were writing more often.

It’s just hard to claim the time and space to write. Work. Family. The beautiful, terrible practicalities of life that compete for your attention.

There are always reasons to put off your writing and creativity until “later.”

This summer could be your chance to (re)claim the part of yourself that knows writing helps you heal, explore, and grow.

This season, you’re invited to ask yourself:

  • What if I prioritized my creativity?

  • What if I recommitted to my writing practice or really devoted myself to writing for the first time?

  • What if I followed my inspiration instead of confining myself to the typical to do list?

This summer (or winter, for our friends in the southern hemisphere), you’re invited to meet yourself on the page.

The Summer Writers Knot:
reconnect with your creativity &
remember the writer within

Writing in community will transform your relationship to your individual writing practice

Our approach is simple: we trust that sitting down to write with others will make it possible for unexpected, powerful new ideas to show up on the page.

In each hour-long writing practice, you can expect to write for about forty minutes. A new set of writing prompts will help you shape your writing experience each time.

The final portion of each session is spent sharing ideas, inspiration, and short pieces of writing.

All sessions are held on Zoom from noon - 1 PM ET:

  • June 28

  • July 12

  • July 19

  • August 2

  • August 9 (a special session devoted to sharing your work and discussing the creative process)

*All sessions will be recorded if you’re traveling or unable to make a session or two for any reason.

Total program fee: $150

 

Is the Summer Writers Knot for you?

I’m Marisa, and I’m a writing coach, a story healer, author, and podcaster.

I’ve been running online writing communities since 2018 and, though the name of the group has changed over the years, the fundamental mission has always been the same: we welcome open-minded, big-hearted creatives, healers, and dreamers who have decided to be brave enough to claim the title of “writer” and meet themselves on the page.

In the Writers Knot, we're storytellers and poets, memoirists and bloggers, novelists and seekers trying to find a project that matters.

Some members journal daily. Some depend on this one hour a week of writing practice to pick up a pen. Some are working on book or are writing for their businesses regularly. Others will take the prompts and use them to access memories, images, and characters in totally unexpected ways. 

You never have to read your work aloud if you don't want to. You're just asked to show up for your own stories and open yourself to be inspired by the words, ideas, and questions that the other members bring to the group.

What will you experience in the Summer Writers Knot?

  • five live sessions—four writing practice sessions and a closing gathering to share your work, ask questions, and discuss the creative process

  • additional prompts provided by email during our “off weeks”

  • an online community where you can connect with other writers throughout the program

 

A summer in the Writers Knot offers you the chance to commit to yourself and your writing
in a whole new way.
