The Write In is a creative space for writers of all levels and backgrounds to harness mental and emotional well-being.

The Write In was launched April 2020 as a virtual creative writing workshop for writers of all backgrounds and abilities. The workshop, and accompanying journal, guides writers through affirmations and prompts to help de-stress and improve their craft. No writing experience is necessary and all are welcome.

Bring this workshop to your company or organization.

Companies and organizations are in a unique position to invest in the mental well-being of employees to erase the stigma, help employees manage stress, and boost morale and create a company culture of acceptance. Contact us to request more information.

What People Are Saying About The Write In:

Check out sample prompts below then listen and subscribe to these playlists on Spotify inspired by Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni from our April 2020 series.

Maya Angelou

“We delight in the beauty of a butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Reflect and write about a change — big or small, doesn’t have to be personal. What emotions and thoughts surround the change? What does the subject (you or someone/something else) learn as a result? 

“Still I Rise” — as you listen, meditate on the words, then write one or two lines — your own declaration in the same style.

Nikki Giovanni

“There is no such thing as writer's block. There is only not enough information. If you can't write, learn something.” Incorporate at least one of the following words into your writing: Longevous (adj. long-lived, living to a great age), apoplectic (adj. Extremely angry or furious), psittacism (n. Mechanical, repetitive, and meaningless speech), sennachie [sen-uh-kee] (n. A professional storyteller of family genealogy, history, and legend)

“Writers don't write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don't. ... If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.” You’re in public and notice that every person you pass has a projector that shows the movie reel of their life. One person’s movie reel particularly moves you and catches your attention. Why? Write about what you’re seeing.
