Whether you’re struggling to meet a deadline, starting something new, or stalled in the middle, here’s your dose of weekly comradery, practical support, accountability, and (if you need it) a little tough love. This small, supportive group led by a seasoned writer and coach will offer concrete tips (how can I better manage my time? when should I stop researching and start writing?); existential sustenance (why bother? what if this never sees the light of day?); and the mix of concrete-existential support (how do I shut up the critics in my head? why does my storyline keep changing as I go?) that will free you to get it done. For writers of fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction ready to see and be seen with openness and humor.

(If the group gels and wants to continue, Anna is open to extending the session.)
