Welcome to Around the Block Writers Collaborative

If it's important enough to put into words, but you’re having trouble getting started or your writing has stalled, we, as professional writers and teachers, are here to help. For example:

  • You want to leave an ethical will and are looking for resources to get you started.
  • You want to preserve in writing the stories your grandfather told, but definitely could use some direction and encouragement...
  • You keep threatening to write a memoir and have lots of ideas, but little experience with the genre and no desire to wade through a class that isn't tailored to your needs...
  • Over the years, you've written a stack of promising poems, but need an audience other than your family...
  • You're a capable writer, but freeze up when you attempt a college application essay meant to distinguish you from thousands of other hopefuls...
  • An ardent reader, you yearn to write some stories of your own.   Where to begin???

We will take you around the block!

In person workshops coming up in 2009!! Around the Block’s Liz, Sara and Tracy will be offering themed writing workshops first in Jekyll Island, Georgia, and then in upstate New York (near the Chautauqua Institution, not at the Institution.) All the details:  workshop offerings, dates, time, place, directions and fees.
