Workshop: "I Want to Write"

Release the Writer in You!

Let Marita Golden show you how to get your words
from your head and heart onto the page.

Workshop Retreat: How It Works

The "I Want to Write, But..." Workshop provides an intimate setting where writers at all levels of expertise, beginning and advanced, can be in community with others on the same path, find support for their writing goals and dreams, and unleash the power of their unique voice and story.

Why are you blocked? Why can't you complete projects you begin? These are questions we will answer in this workshop in a supportive, nurturing environment. This workshop will free you to write with regularity and from a creative consciousness that releases the stories that you really want to tell. This is a class for writers of any genre (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism) who are ready to give themselves permission to write consistently and with power and who need a road map to the writing life. In class writing exercises, discussion of your writing as well as published writing samples, and in-depth critique of your attitudes about writing are just a part of the course. This course is devoted to freeing the writer inside you so that you can find and claim your true voice.
