Rise & Write -- wake up your creative brain!

Rise & Write is on hiatus — fill out the form below to receive details about what’s to come in 2024!

This donation-based, mostly weekly generative writing workshop takes place over Zoom on Wednesday mornings from 9 to 10 a.m. central.

Discover new writing techniques, explore new imaginative territory, and connect with like-minded and differently-minded writers each week.

Whether you're a seasoned writer or brand new to the craft, Rise & Write is right for you. While the sessions are centered on poetry, the writing prompt is designed to fit any style or genre of writing and launch you into the writing process -- whether that produces a poem, an essay, a story, or an undiscovered form is between you and the page!

We start with discussion of a published poem to get our minds awakened and creative juices juicing, then move into a guided exploratory writing prompt. To get a sense of what these prompts are like, pop on over to this link and scroll to the bottom of the page where a whole packet of them lives.

The workshops are completed donation-based; suggested minimum contribution is $15 (poets gotta pay rent too!), but TRULY do not let cost be the barrier, I'd love to Rise and Write with you.

Interested? Fill out the form below to join the mailing list and you will receive access to a page with information about how to log in. The poem we’re discussing will be posted there, along with the Zoom link and ways to donate. No pressure to attend every time, but a standing invitation!

Questions? Curiosities? Interested in setting up one-on-one coaching or a different group writing workshop instead? Email booking@martyoutloud.com and we'll chat about it.
