“I took Leah’s class, ‘Writing 101: Get the Ideas out of Your Head and onto Paper’ and it was a phenomenal jumpstart for my writing practice. It gave me some much needed confidence and was a safe space to get my creative juices flowing and then get constructive feedback on my ideas. I highly recommend taking a class with Leah, she’s a great instructor, is very encouraging and is creating a great community of writers of all kinds here in Terre Haute!” — Emily, Writing 101 class participant

“I recently took a writing workshop led by Leah Singer. It was very informative and offered new writing tips I wasn’t aware of before the workshop. The workshop was a comfortable setting— allowing members to openly share their ideas and writing. I would highly recommend hiring Leah to host workshops on any topic in her field. She was well-prepared, knowledgeable, and cared about our progress.” — Kasy Long, Writing 101 class participant

COMING SOON
Writing 101: Get the Ideas out of Your Head and onto the Paper (2-session online class)
Have you always thought about writing, but don’t know how to start? Do you have ideas for stories or personal narratives you want to capture on the page? Whether you want to write personal narratives, record your family history, or write a work of fiction, this two-part course will help you take the ideas you’ve been thinking up and put them down on paper.
In the first class, we will talk about how to start the process of writing. Students will leave with a focus, tools to help them write, and an assignment for the next session. In the second class, participants will have an opportunity to share their written work in a workshop environment. We will discuss writing problems and obstacles, and talk about a plan for continuing to develop your writing project.
Each class is one hour and is limited to 10 participants. While this is an online class, students will complete short writing assignments during the class time. The online class will be web-based, on a program like Zoom (details are still being confirmed). Participants also have the option of joining a private Facebook writing community.
Happy Hour “Drop-in” Writing Sessions
Think of this as end of the day unwind time to write! The monthly “Happy Hour ‘Drop-in’ Writing Sessions” will take place at a Terre Haute, Indiana coffee shop. Each session will include a quick writing lesson and time to practice our craft. You’ll leave the happy hour feeling accomplished and refreshed.
Dates and locations coming soon! Drop me a line to make sure you’re on the mailing list when details are confirmed.
