"This past summer I felt really stuck. You created a motivational atmosphere, and it was great to be with other people who really wanted to write."

Rose Writers Outside!
Our first set of outdoor workshops were great!
Thanks to everyone who came out!
The next set of outdoor workshops begin October 2 in a new location.
Thanks to RW Alum Sherie for offering her home! Located in the
Bluff Park area, we'll have a spacious backyard to write, share, and connect.
See below for dates and times.
To keep inline with health guidelines, everyone will be required to wear a mask. We will be seated at a safe distance from each other, and sharing will be done via a handheld mic.
I'll bring packaged snacks; please bring your own beverage.
Bathroom is available inside the house, but all writing and socializing will be done outside.
Feel free to bring whatever you need to feel comfortable such as a towel or small blanket to sit on, wipes, etc.
In case of rain, workshop will be cancelled with full refunds.
Each session is limited to 7 writers and you must sign up for each individual session. Click link below to go to scheduling page.
