Writer's Quest

Beyond corrections and constructive written feedback on your written work, we are also committed to helping you discover your writing ability and improve your writing skills so that you can become a more effective, confident writer. We do this by accompanying you on your writer’s journey. We meet with you live and work through selections from your actual writing, which becomes transformed into the live site of learning and discovery. The intention is to develop confidence, fluency, proficiency, and deepened appreciation for what it means to write and how to do it in a clear, effective, and meaningful way.

Live, guided writing seminars and workshops offer learners from all walks of life the opportunity to discover writing anew as “the writer’s quest”.

On our quest, we explore and examine the following key themes and questions:

1.) The purpose of writing by asking “Why write?”

2.) The landscapes and horizons of writing, surveying various approaches, mindsets, and practices of writing. We do so by asking “How is writing to be approached, what kinds of writing exist, and what does each genre require?”

3.) The kind(s) of writing appropriate to you as a writer by asking “What kind of writing is best suited to my purpose(s), how shall I write and how can I grow as a human being and a writer?”

Here, we draw upon excellent examples of writing for guidance but also learn to become aware of key challenges and avoid pitfalls.

4.) The lives of exemplary authors across the ages who embody what the confluence of meaningful writing and a life worth living looks like. We do so by asking “Who are the wonderful, exemplary human beings who have also been excellent writers? How can their lives and writings inspire and guide my own ‘writer’s quest’?”

Last but not least, we consider how writing can contribute to a meaningful life worth living, not just for us, but for our communities.
