Manuscripts and Mocktails: A Writer’s Day-Treat Experience Combating Writer Loneliness
Writing is a solo activity, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one! Manuscripts and Mocktails is a one-day retreat designed to bring writers together for a fun, inspiring, and creative experience. Whether you're deep in a manuscript, need fresh inspiration, or just want to connect with other writers who get it, this is the perfect space for you.
What’s Included:
✅ Refreshing mocktails and a delicious catered lunch
✅ Breakout writing sessions with fellow writers to spark creativity and accountability
✅ Entry to the Open Mic Mixer at the end of the night—share your work or just enjoy the vibe
✅ Inspiring panels, including:
How to Create Community as a Writer – Build a support system that keeps you going. Learn how to get started right where you are and create a thriving community you love.
How to Create Your Own Opportunities – Stop waiting and start making moves in your writing career. Gather ideas on how to get started on making your own dreams a reality.
How to Create Consistently - Learn how to create consistently, push through resistance, and create work you are proud of.
Spend the day writing, learning, and building meaningful connections. You’ll leave with fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and a strong community of fellow writers by your side.
Come join us—because writing is better together!

Poet Pro Bootcamp
‘Tis the season to level up your poetry professionalism. With a few simple tools, you can set yourself a part from the crowd and nail down opportunities. During this workshop, I will walk you through setting up a simple logo, CV, electronic press kit, and gigsalad profile. This is a BootCamp meaning, come prepared to work.
For this class, you will need the following:
computer / laptop (This is mandatory since we will toggle between tabs. I do not recommend a phone or tablet for this class)
Canva Account (Free profile is fine. Pro is better)
