everyday writers welcome
Write Now Workshop empowers us to use our voices, speak our truths and be heard!
“You become a writer by writing, there is no other way.”
- Margaret Atwood, Masterclass on Creative Writing
At Write Now Workshop, we believe writing as an art form belongs to everyone. Because of that, we care less about who, what, where or even how you write. For us, it’s simply a matter of when.
Why not Now? It’s where all our best writing comes from.
We’ll use the AWA Method to provide simple boundaries that allow our groups the sense of safety required to reveal our souls to one another through our writing. Each workshop, we’ll write. And without fear of harsh criticism or rejection, we’ll have the option of sharing what we’ve written with our fellow writers. It’s radically simple.
We’ll be amazed by how wonderful it feels to be writing and sharing in this way.
At Write Now Workshops we meet as fellow writers. We get to be writers who write. We get to be inspired by what others have written. We get to regain confidence in our innate and unique voices.
We get to remember that simply writing can be a blast!

Are you an Everyday Writer?
Writers write. Everyday writers have a desire to write any and everyday.
What’s stopping us?
What isn’t? I don’t know about you, but I need a tremendous amount of support to transcend the fear that greets me every time I sit down to that blank page.
An Everyday Writers Workshop is designed to strength muscle of beginning. Every time we meet to write, just to write, we weaken our resistance, build our artistic courage and expand our understanding of how glorious it can feel to simply start.

Are you a Weekend Writer?
Not unlike an Everyday Writer, a Weekend Writer is a person finding the time to write when they have it.
Much like other weekend warriors, we’ll be amazed how much writing can be done in this small weekend commitment.
Our Weekend Writer’s Workshop is for writers who can commit two hours a month to our practice.
Each new month, we’ll be there together to witness how effortlessly our writing deepens, expands and becomes more free.

Are you an Adventurous Writer?
Trick question, writers are nothing if not adventurous.
Adventurous Writer’s Workshops are a true treat! Designed for stuck writers and adventure seekers alike, we’ll spend half the workshop moving our bodies through Nature and then we’ll gather to write, surrounded (and inspired) by all her beauty.
Offered seasonally, near Stratton Mountain in Southern Vermont, as three separate workshops. Join us for one or all three!

Who are We?
(to write) (one might ask?)
We are people whose stories deserve to be heard. Moms. Farmers. Dreamers. Kids. Lovers. Foragers. Family friends.
At a *We. Write. Now. Workshop, we are invited to express ourselves in our own singular and unique voices. And be amazed by the innate creativity of the human spirit.
These stand alone workshops are an introduction to the AWA method and are for anyone, no previous writing experience required.
“The act of writing is a tremendous adventure into the unknown, always fraught with danger. But the deeper you go and the longer you work at your art, the greater will be your treasure.”
Pat Schneider, Writing Alone and with Others
Devin Rondeau
Can’t wait to write with you at a Write Now Workshop! Wishing you happy and bountiful writing until then.
Writer & Facilitator
Devin writes really long emails, humorous essays and plays, mostly. She earned a BFA in Drama from North Carolina School of the Arts and brings her understanding of the oral tradition of storytelling to her AWA workshops.
She believes everyone is a beautiful writer with an important story to tell. She knows the language we use to capture our stories on paper wants to be seen, heard and felt. She is delighted to be cultivating a community where individual creatives can deepen our practices and expand our capabilities, together.
