Journal Writing

Remember your old diary from sixth grade, the one place where you let yourself pour your heart and soul out? Do you find yourself longing for that same inner sense of freedom you had as a child? What you need to do is journal. As adults, that is a chore but as a child, it was bliss. In this two hour workshop, Hannah will help you recapture that same freedom of expression you had as a kid, pushing past the inner-censor and releasing everything on to paper.

Discover Your Writer's Voice 

Storytelling Techniques 

Using the journal as a writer's tool, Hannah helps students identify the stories they wish to write–from their own lives, from their dreams, or from their imaginations. Whether it is fact or fiction, whether it is a memoir piece or fantasy, in this workshop students will walk away with the ability to tell a story–beginning, middle, and end. Stories will be effortless to write and ideas flowing.

Weekend Workshop

Write a Short Story

If you have trouble setting deadlines and finishing stories, this is the class for you. In this workshop, Hannah teaches you about the different elements of narrative and demonstrates how to take those elements and create a cohesive short story. By the end of this workshop, you will have the rough draft of a short story!

Write A Novel in Twelve Weeks.

If you have always wanted to write a novel and are willing to dedicate every spare moment for three months to writing every single day, then this is the class for you. An open mind and lots of ideas help too. By the end of this workshop, you will have the first draft for a novel!

The Master Class

Plot Workshop

You’re knee-deep into a writing project and then suddenly, you stop, look around, and realize you have no idea where you are or where you’re going. You feel lost, powerless, and alone– like driving in Boston without a map.  In this workshop you will practice a technique that helps you organize and map out the structure of your story. After all, without a map, we sometimes get lost.  Now, you will create that map and never get lost again.

Character Workshop

So you’ve written a short story, novel, or memoir, and the characters are boring or flat.  You want them to be three-dimensional and real but don’t know how to do it.  In this workshop learn a powerful technique for creating or enhancing characters and learn how to write authentic dialogue.  Lift flat characters from the page and make them dance!

Writing & Literature

teaches students how to analyze and study classic and contemporary literature as a means to learning writing techniques that can be applied to their own writing. Students will have a required reading list that should be completed before the workshop.
