Join the Sisterhood in a virtual, relaxed environment to begin writing some of your life stories. With diverse prompts, you’ll create and read your first drafts in a supportive space with recommendations for how to take your work further.

Over the course of three weeks, you will have several pieces that you can continue to work on. There will also be discussion about the craft of writing and reading suggestions.

Whether you want to write for yourself or for your family, no experience is required, only the willingness to try.
