Every story begins somewhere. Sometimes we know exactly where. Other times, we need space to discover it.
The Guided Pen is an intimate, 90-minute virtual writing experience designed to help you discover the meaningful stories hidden within your memories, experiences, and questions.
Through guided reflection, exploratory writing, and optional conversation, you'll begin identifying a story seed worth following.
You'll leave with an emerging story idea, a clearer sense of why it matters, and a meaningful place to begin writing.
You don't need a finished manuscript, a book idea, or previous writing experience. Just bring your curiosity, something to write with, and a willingness to explore.
Your registration includes:
• 90-minute live guided experience
• Digital Story Table Companion
• Reflective writing prompts
• An intimate group of no more than 12 participants
