Creating connections between language, medicine, faith, and the world we share
Writing Workshops
Focus on ways to vary, enliven, and fine-tune your writing with two-hour in-depth writing workshops.
Critique & Coaching
Sharpen your work with a variety of manuscript critique and individual coaching services for poetry & non-fiction writing.
Retreats
I offer day-long or weekend retreats for writers, women’s groups, and faith communities.
In addition to scheduled workshops I’m happy to schedule either individual writing coaching or workshops on Zoom for four or more upon request. These might include screensharing your work and fine-tuning, developmental editing, or generative exercises. How we focus the time is negotiable.
If you have a few friends who would like either a single 90-minute workshop or a series of three 60/90-minute workshops, let me know, and I’ll work with you to find dates.
"Marilyn is a wise and gentle guide. The ways she has encouraged and challenged me to push myself as a writer have helped me find my voice and, at the same time, elevate my writing. Her classes and workshops are treasure troves of information. As I’ve worked with Marilyn over the past two years, her insight, depth of knowledge, and editing prowess have been invaluable to my growth as a writer."
— Heather C. Moll, workshop participant
