Women's Writing Workshop Series

This monthly workshop series is for both new and experienced women writers looking for a welcoming, judgment-free space to write and learn in the company of other women.

Each 90-minute class will be broken into two parts:

  • During the first part, I’ll guide you in exploring a specific theme through writing prompts, freewriting, physical movement, and guided reflections.

  • The second part of class will give you the chance to write on your own: whether it’s continuing a piece of writing from the first part of class or tackling a different work in progress is up to you.

  • There will also be time to share your writing and listen to others share their work. Sharing is totally optional, of course!

The themes we’ll explore are:

  • September 24, waking up the five senses

  • October 22, writing as a joyful process

  • November 19, bringing theater techniques to your writing

You’ll walk away with:

  • A feeling of playfulness and possibility.

  • New writing and ideas for keeping your creative momentum going.

  • Support from other women who have the urge to express themselves through words.

This workshop is for women:

  • Wanting to write but feeling unsure of how to get started.

  • Wishing to become more confident and playful in expressing creativity.

  • Looking for time, space, and encouragement to make progress on and/or complete a writing project.

No previous writing experience necessary. All you need to bring is yourself, a notebook and pen, and your curiosity!

Cost

  • $30 per class

About Nicole Hello! My name is Nicole Lungerhausen and I’m a writer, theater maker, and coach. My stories have been featured in many publications, including Apparition Lit, Apex, and The Future Fire. My work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and has received an honorable mention from Writers of the Future. I was a professional actor in the San Francisco Bay Area for 10+ years; I love to draw on my experience in movement, improv, and breathwork to inspire both my own writing and my work with others. As a coach, I focus on giving people the space and tools to discover their writing voices and the stories they truly want to tell. I specialize in short fiction and personal essays.
