Writing from the Top of Your Head

Dickinson who wrote: “If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry”.

The course is for writers who want to generate fresh material, feel stuck and struggle with writer’s block, or for those who have always wanted to write but are too afraid to start.

Participants will be guided, in a criticism-free environment of support and safety, to “open the tops of their heads” to access their inner voices without censoring or judging. Through evocative writing prompts and lively class readings and discussion, the inner hooligan and nonsense-maker will be given room to shine and shout. The wild place is most exciting! We will have loads of fun!

Participants will also benefit from learning invaluable brain-training tools and strategies that will help them move through their creative life with grace and resilience, and attain the freedom on the open page that they’ve been longing for.

We have a limited number of partial scholarships available for BIPOC and trans/non-binary folks. Contact writenina@writingfromthetopofyourhead to inquire further.
