There is no effecting change in the world until you put your hand on the heart of your own story

In this 12 week writing intensive (meets every Tuesday), participants will be guided through the process of writing the raw chapters of a full-length memoir or novel using Dr. Zelda Lockhart’s book The Soul of the Full-Length Manuscript Turning Life’s Wounds Into the Gift of Literary Fiction, Memoir or Poetry. The writing journey becomes the stepping stones of personal transformation that lead to the first draft of a full-length manuscript. This workshop is a commitment of time, trust, and transformation. 

***Each registrant must have taken a previous writing workshop with Dr. Lockhart or upon registration sign-up for a 30 minute pre-session with Dr. Lockhart as their foundation for  understanding the emotional, psychological, spiritual workings of personal plot method.***

All workshops will be taught from a Black feminist perspective that prioritizes community building, mutual respect, and Black women's ways of knowing.

What's Expressive Writing? –  Expressive Writing is a way to investigate your feelings, emotions, thoughts and your relationships with others through all genres of writing and storytelling. Dr. Lockhart believes this includes sharing and listening to or consuming stories in healing reciprocity.
