The Writer's Workshop @ Authors Publish

During this generative course, Emily Harstone and Ella Peary will give you prompts and encouragement to write a poem every day in October. They will also host lively conversations with prestigious poets and editors.

You'll also connect with other poets, and explore real-world paths to publication.

This course includes a full month of community writing events, guest lectures, inspiration, writing prompts, and so much more.

Here’s some of what we’ll be giving you during the course:

• A full month of poetry prompts and inspiration – so you can build a daily writing practice with support from instructors and peers.
• Daily craft tips so you can grow your skill as a poet throughout the entire month.
• Four guest speakers, including editors of prestigious literary journals and renowned poets actively publishing right now.
• Four generative poetry workshops each week, so you can write and share your poetry in a live group setting. (All hosted online via Zoom.)
• The opportunity to network with peers and share poems for feedback on the course platform.

Please note, all of the writing prompts, craft tips, guest visitors, and generative workshops are brand new for this session.

The course includes a multitude of live events, so you can meet other poets, spend time writing and sharing your poetry, and building connections and friendships you can carry with you long after the course is complete

This is a unique chance to become part of a community of established and aspiring writers and make real progress on your writing, with guidance from acclaimed author Emily Harstone, and Ella Peary, a long-time editor at Authors Publish.

This course is for those who want to spend the month writing poetry surrounded by the energy of a strong community, while still getting many opportunities to share your work in a small group. This will allow you to benefit from the energy and activity of a large group, while also building meaningful connections with individual poets.

The workshop officially starts on Monday, September 23d and concludes on Friday, November 1st. The workshop includes visits from established poets and editors, live generative poetry workshops, text-based discussion, craft tips, writing prompts, and so much more.
