Write Where You Are Community Writing Circles
My signature Write Where You Are community writing circles offer guidance and support for your writing and your life. This spiritual and creative experience is profound, intimate, and transformational. You will connect deeply with yourself and others. These circles include a wide range of writers, from beginners to pros, working across genres. We all learn from each other. Writing Circle members receive coaching from me while they write novels, memoirs, poetry, short stories, articles, blogs, essays, plays, and more. I am an experienced, skillful facilitator who knows how to create and maintain a safe, sacred space in which magical things unfold! This group will inspire you to write what wants to be expressed through you. Our circles take place via Zoom. Students from all over the English-speaking world participate. All you need is a computer with internet connection. Participants write and read in every meeting. It’s celebratory, productive, and inspirational!

“Bella’s class is like a Bunsen burner cooking up all kinds of stuff in my imagination!” —Vik Sheldon, Artist Bella’s class is a writer’s oasis, for both beginners and seasoned writers alike. She provides an environment that supports, encourages, and challenges the creative process in all of us. A great class for those who want to connect with their inner storyteller and get it down on paper. Highly, highly recommended!” —David Cordova, High School History Teacher |
