For Writers…

Stay accountable with our two free, guided weekly writing sprint/workshop. (Sign up below.)

Tessa hosts two free, weekly workshop for the Westport Public Library, featuring Writing Sprints to Prompts and an AMA (“Ask Me Anything”). This is like a write-in but with extras…think of it as her office hours where you can ask her anything about writing, publishing or marketing your stories.

The first and third Tuesdays include a 30 minute Submission Party. Bring your story or essay and together we’ll walk through the steps to submit it for publicaiton.

Tessa says: “Here’s how the writing sprint goes: we chat about our writing week for the first few minutes and then I share prompts and first lines which people can use, tweak or ignore. The time can be spent on new words or world-building, revising – anything at all – doesn’t even have to be creative writing. Then we’ll write for 50 minutes, and in the last 5 mins we’ll discuss writing goals and obstacles (and tips to overcome them) for the coming week, which will include submissions to journals and publishers. I love to meet new writers so please stop by!”
