​

Want to try a workshop, but not ready for a 5-week commitment?

​

That's cool!

Come once and see what Ignite is all about.

​

Do you have a work-in-progress? 

Wanna talk about it?

​

Are you looking for encouragement, guaranteed writing or editing time, and the camaraderie of a small group of other writers?

 

Come get a taste of Ignite’s all-genre workshop!

​

Bring up to 300-words from any part of your book to read, and plan to share a few details about your project. Then, we write! 

​

Writer's choice whether you work on editing (burn) or generative writing (build). Use (or ignore) the offered prompts.

​

There will be opportunity to read, comment on each other’s work, and discuss writing process in each meeting.

 

​Live Zoom meeting (NOT recorded).

Maximum of 10 writers.

You will receive the link once you register.

​​

THIS IS NOT A CRITIQUE GROUP.

​

The goal is to offer encouragement about what’s working, ask clarifying questions, and give each writer food for thought about future directions their books might explore.

Do you have a book in progress? 

 

Are you looking for encouragement, guaranteed writing or editing time, and the camaraderie of a small group of other writers?

 

Join Ignite’s signature 5-week, all-genre workshop, where you’ll find:

​

·      Weekly, live Zoom meetings (NOT recorded)

·      Maximum of 8 writers

·      You will receive the link once you register. 

·      While we would like you to come to all meetings, it is especially important for the group to start and finish together. 

·      Please do not register if you have a schedule conflict for October 23rd or November 20th.

 

How It Works:

Meeting 1

Get to know each other’s work

Writers share their projects, reading up to 500-words from any part of their books, and sharing any other details about their projects.

 

**No later than Friday, October 25th**

·      All writers submit up to 1500-words, via email, to be shared amongst the group.

·      Everyone’s words will be collated into a single document, which is emailed to all participants. 

·      Everyone reads all submissions by Day 5, making whatever notes necessary to discuss the work. 

·      There is no written feedback exchanged between participants.

 

Meetings 2-4

Do the work

Writing time in group, using (or ignoring) the offered prompts. There will be opportunity to read, comment on each other’s work, and discuss writing process in each meeting.

 

Meeting 5

Let’s Discuss

The group discusses each 1500-word excerpt. Comments focus on what stuck with us about the writing, what we think is working in each piece, answering any questions the writer posed for us to consider while we read, and asking questions. 

​

One week after group concludes, you will receive your own document back, along with comments, questions, and notes from the final group meeting.

​

Please Note:

THIS IS NOT A CRITIQUE GROUP.

There is ZERO expectation that submissions will be final draft writing. 

We will NOT be critiquing or line-editing.

There is no contest.

Grades will not be assigned!

 

The goal is to offer encouragement about what’s working, ask clarifying questions, and give each writer food for thought about future directions their books might explore.
