What our alums are saying about their experience
“I've taken a number of RWW workshops. I learn something new about myself each time. The prompts aren't the typical writers workshop jumpstarts.”
I've taken a number of RWW workshops. I learn something new about myself each time. The prompts aren't the typical writers workshop jumpstarts. It's the first and only writers workshop that considers race, gender, class, history and culture. Each time I've come away with a peice of writing or several threads I can later expand into a poem, prose or essay.
“The care that Nicole put into choosing writing exercises related to the topic was impeccable.”
The care that Nicole put into choosing writing exercises related to the topic was impeccable. Not only the content, but Nicole made EVERYONE feel welcome – like each person had a purpose for being there. I appreciated Nicole encouraging us and implementing breath work during the workshop. That small attention to how we were feeling as we were writing and unpacking was everything!

“I would recommend the workshop to any WOC or POC writer who wants to expand the way they engage with writing.”
I would recommend the workshop to any WOC or POC writer who wants to expand the way they engage with writing. These workshops are carefully crafted for and acknowledge the cultural, gender, and non-binary as well as the historical, social and economic impact upon us as writers.
