A Free Monthly Online Lecture Series from WritingWorkshops.com & Gemini Ink Wednesday, April 24th, 2024...
These peer-driven workshops, held the last Monday of each month, are free and open to writers of all levels and focus on poetry, flash fiction, and short creative non-fiction.
A formidable first page of fiction grabs the reader, sets the tone for what’s to come, and captures the essence of the entire work. But how do we create an opening that keeps the reader turning the page? In this one-day workshop, we will study and discuss various examples of compelling first pages to see what works; we will review craft elements such as character, setting, point-of-view, and narrative voice; and we will write and examine our own first pages in a safe, supportive environment. This course is open to fiction writers of all skill levels, 18+.
Join Gemini Ink on Friday, May 10th, for a night of prose and literary celebration as we partner with our friends at Poetic Republic Cafe to create an inviting space for the writing community to share words, wine, and wisdom, with a little latte or espresso on the side.
Let’s honor American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month with the compelling fiction of Gemini Wahhaj and Chaitali Sen, who capture the human experience through the lens of immigration and political unrest and do so with power and elegance.
In this two-session workshop, we will combine writing and wellness practices to help writers develop a more mindful approach to their work. We’ll use meditation to tap creativity, explore the connection between self-compassion and craft, and look at how to mine raw personal material in a safe but effective way. By the end of this workshop, we’ll put these techniques into practice in order to write with momentum and heart, then revise with craft and focus. This course is open to writers of all genres, backgrounds, and skill level, 18+ who write on a regular basis.

Are you on the verge of submitting your writing for publication, but are you too nervous or afraid to follow through? Have you submitted your work, just for it to end up in the rejection pile? Or does submitting your work keep falling to the bottom of your to-do list?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to plan a submission strategy, research publishing markets, and identify the publications most aligned with your work. We will also review proper submission etiquette and protocols plus suggestions for avoiding pitfalls that mark you as an amateur before editors even read your submission.
In a time of worldwide strife and disconnection, poetry reacquaints us with humanity in a way that transcends borders, time zones, and languages. Join master poetry teacherVeronica Golos on an international poetry tour. First stop: Latin America!
In this four-week generative poetry workshop we will explore four international poets: Conceiҫão Evaristo (Brazil), Coral Bracho (Mexico), Pablo Neruda (Chile) and Juan Gelman (Argentina). Each week we will read deeply, explore each poet’s craft tools, and apply these techniques to our own work. A packet with poems will be sent to participants, along with suggestions for developing your own work.
