About Creative Sphere Writers Workshop

Our Workshop Process

Our Workshop Process

Our Workshop Process

We're not a traditional writers workshop. At Creative Sphere Writers Workshop, we write during our time together and everyone receives feedback in every session. We use prompts to foster exploration of craft, spark imagination and memory, and write on the spot during the workshop time itself. Every member has the option to share their writing, and fellow members respond in support of new writing with feedback about what works, what's memorable, and what's strong. This way, writers can take the new writing they've created and the feedback they've received, and decide what is next for that piece of writing.

Our Workshop Method

Our Workshop Process

Our Workshop Process

Creative Sphere Writers Workshop uses the Amherst Writers & Artists method, developed by Pat Schneider. 


AWA is based on 5 essential affirmations:

  • Everyone has a strong, unique voice. 
  • Everyone is born with creative genius. 
  • Writing as an art form belongs to all people, regardless of economic class or education level. 
  • The teaching of craft can be done without damage to a writer’s original voice or artistic self-esteem. 
  • A writer is someone who writes.
