"Amy's workshops are always lovely. They push me into different creative zones and allow me to expand past familiar territory in my writing, with fresh tools and ideas to use. I love how welcoming and warm she is, always making sure the workshop is a safe place for new, untethered words."

Marie Croke

"I had the privilege of attending a writing workshop with Amy on March 11, 2022. I went in expecting to write something for one of the two projects I’ve been working on recently. However, the prompts Amy provided sent me back over 40 years to sights, sounds and smells that I’d not thought of in years. Some might think my expectations were not met. It was quite the opposite. The writing that resulted from this workshop far exceeded my expectations and met some soulful needs I was not even aware of. I look forward to joining another workshop with Amy soon."

Kathleen Osborne

"A space filled with sunshine. Love the prompts, the structure, the people. It’s a place where I find warmth and kindred spirits. And when others share what they’ve written, I’m inspired."

Anna Madden

"Amy’s workshops are fun, easy, accessible. If you write a lot, or have never written before, she makes sure you feel comfortable and helps you meet your goals in a low-stress environment."

Marie Villa

"Amy's positive and welcoming workshops have made writing fun again! Learning how to embrace the first draft and listening to others share their work has inspired me to expand on what I've developed in the workshops. Amy is quick to encourage, whether it's reading our work or holding it private. Can't recommend her enough!"

Rebecca Bennett

"Workshops with Amy always leave me feeling like I’m the most brilliant and fascinating writer in existence, and they make me feel like everyone else in the workshop is equally brilliant and fascinating. There’s a real joy in being encouraged to write – write nonsense, write garbage, write ‘I don’t know what to write’ – and knowing someone else will say, 'My god, I feel that way, too.'"

Laura DeHaan

"As someone for whom writing is normally a solitary practice, I really appreciate the care and attention Amy puts into making sure each workshop is a comfortable and supportive space for everyone. Each session urges me outside my comfort zone, while at the same time allowing me the flexibility to move and work within whatever space I want to be in on that particular day. Amy is an engaging, knowledgeable facilitator and the generative workshops she hosts are often just the push I need to re-find joy and creativity in my writing practice."
