Workshops
At the heart of human culture is story,
and we each have a story to tell.
Writing is a journey of self discovery. As such, each writer's story is unique and requires an array of crafting techniques.
I see everyone as uniquely talented. Workshops in creative writing are opportunities to discover and hone talents, as well as identify areas of skill yet to be developed.
I encourage participants to tell their story coherently, allowing emotion and the music of the language to guide their choices.
My goal is to send writers on their journey, confident in their ability to create and ready to craft.

Serving Up from Memory's Kitchen:
Food stories as ingredients for great writing
Driftless Writing Center March 10, 2018 9am to noon
Have you ever told a story about a great meal? Or perhaps a food disaster?
Food sears into our memories because it engages our senses.
Join in this three-hour workshop in Viroqua, Wisconsin where we will playfully use food as writing inspiration, and cook up material for generating prose and poetry.
Through writing exercises, prompts, and even recipes we will craft delectable creations as we work together.
This workshop is intended as a spring jump-start for all writers – those who have never written
to those who write regularly and seek new ideas.
Encore, 116 South Main Street
(next to the historic Temple Theatre)
Viroqua, Wisconsin
Cost: $35.00
Limited to 15 participants.
Registration opens January 15, 2018

Making Your Mark
You've created prose and poetry and now you would like to see it published a literary journal. Where to start? Join this session to discover the diverse and vast landscape of literary journals and how to submit your writing.
Tea & Ink November 2017
Catherine taught us how to get our work published which she called “Making Your Mark”.
She asked each of us what type of things we liked to write about and geared her presentation to meet our needs.
Then she introduced us to literary journals and where to find them online. She carefully went through how to submit to these journals, using two approaches. She covered formatting and tracking of submissions. It was interesting to discuss the differences between print and online journals. To conclude, she talked about the alternative ways to get one’s writing out in public.
It is now up to us to get our writings finished and with Catherine’s terrific presentation,
we are empowered to find publication avenues we’d never thought of before.
What a wonderful presentation Catherine gave. It was so detailed and amusingly presented. We all learned a lot.
