‘Much more than a creative writing workshop. Beyond giving me tools to enrich my writing, it triggered a process of self-discovery that led me to uncover my deepest passions and true desires.'

‘The course was deeply inspiring and reinforced why I love the craft of writing. And, even more importantly, it motivated me to invest more time in my writing. The class provided a safe space to share work - which is both confronting and necessary to grow as a writer. Nadia taught me that I won't have great writing days every day, or even every other day, and that's OK ... as long as I persist.

Hi! I'm Nadia. I was the teenager whose parents got concerned calls from the English teacher because she believed what I wrote in my creative writing exercises. While this should have given me confidence ('Great, I write convincing prose!'), I felt exposed and this sent me underground for years.
I wrote on the sly or sent postcard fiction (before it was a "thing") with outrageous holiday tales to friends and family to see whether they believed me. This formative experience made me passionate about helping writers write whatever they wanted to write in a safe and supportive environment. |
