"There's no greater burden than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou
Do you have a story yearning to come out, but you're not sure how to translate it to the page?
Join a dynamic community of supportive women. Explore challenges, imposter syndrome, or difficult material in a safe space without getting shut down or dismissed. Explore the craft of writing stories that have the power to transform you and others.
This workshop will focus on character transformation through shifts in perspective and include readings, interactive lessons, group discussion, prompts, writing time, optional sharing of work, and supportive feedback.
These workshops are different from the writing groups and workshops you may have attended in the past. They're designed to be inclusive and empowering, led by someone who knows what it feels like to not quite fit in, who was transformed by finding her voice and using it to empower herself and others who'd been conditioned to stay silent. The readings and writing prompts are carefully designed to encourage you to go deep, elevate your craft, and break through the barriers holding you back from fulfilling your creative destiny.
With M. Maeve Eagan, coauthor of the groundbreaking memoir, Behind Blue Curtains, which sparked the Anabaptist MeToo Movement. Ghostwriter of books, blogs, and high-profile impact statements, Maeve is also a trauma-informed memoir coach and editor, and hosts writing workshops to help people find their voices and free their stories.
Community Sponsor: $125. This helps provide sliding scale and scholarships to keep workshops accessible to women facing financial challenges. I offer a free 60-minute, private coaching call to all Community Sponsors.
Standard Rate: $95. This helps cover operational expenses to maintain our community.
Sliding Scale: $75. This is offered to women facing financial challenges.
If cost is prohibitive, please email Maeve at FYVworkshops@gmail.com to inquire about scholarships.
Refunds
I know that life can be unpredictable, and I want to be as flexible as possible while also keeping these workshops sustainable. Refunds can be requested up to one week before the workshop (minus any credit card or Venmo processing fees). If an emergency or unforeseen circumstances come up after that one-week window, I can not guarantee refunds or credit. I'm happy to share workshop materials and/or meet for an individual Zoom session. Exceptions will depend on circumstances, availability, and capacity on a case-by-case basis.
*Disrespectful or harmful behavior will result in removal from the workshops without a refund.
Community and feedback guidelines will be emailed to all new registered writers. Please email me at FYVworkshops@gmail.com with questions.
