Community Classes for Grown-Ups

Escape To The Page - a Writing Workshop for women

Providing creative writing programs for young people throughout the Bay area for the past 8 years has convinced us that grown-ups could also use more time to swim around in their imaginations. That’s the inspiration behind our Women’s Writing Group, Escape to the Page.

This is a chance to have a night-off from your routine, focus on sparking creativity, generating story ideas, and appreciating the camaraderie of fellow women who love (or want to learn to love) writing. Using the art of ”found inspiration”, we’ll dive into a different technique each week.

This is a no-pressure, come as you are, writing excursion. (No previous creative writing experience required.)
