This Spring, make space for writing in your life. Whether you’ve never written before or already have a regular writing habit, this workshop offers a welcoming and inspiring environment to explore your voice and build a sustainable practice. Led by Boston-based writer and content strategist Félicie Petit-Nivard, the workshop focuses on daring to write, not someday, but now. No project or prior experience is required; only the desire to begin.
Each session includes guided writing prompts inspired by memory, daily life, and imagination. From journaling to letter-writing and short narratives, you’ll learn how to turn personal experience into material and momentum for your writing.
Together, we’ll overcome the fear of the blank page, build confidence, and anchor writing in everyday life.
This is more than a class. It’s a space to experiment, reflect, and grow. You’ll be part of a kind and supportive community where every voice matters.
