On-line 6-Week Writing Workshop: The Story of You. It IS All About You.


  • Susan Weis-Bohlen Zoom online class United States (map)

This course is about why writing matters. We will explore our personal stories to see how they have shaped our current narrative—the story we tell ourselves about who we are. Writing prompts help us to access our deepest memories and pivotal moments, recent regrets, and ancient anecdotes. You have precious truths, plots, and schemes, and they matter. They are important. They are the story of you.

The only requirement for this course is that you have lived a life. Even if you don’t think it’s been exciting or extraordinary, I promise you, it has been unique. We yearn to hear stories, to share, relate, commune and converse.

If you want to express yourself more fully, make sense of your life, and meet others on the same path of exploration, this course is for you. Vulnerability is your strength. Vulnerability is how we tell meaningful stories. We will create a safe space, limited to ten people, to ensure sufficient time for close collaboration. You may be writing for publication, personal discovery, to leave a legacy, or to explore your past and create your future. All are welcome. See how your story can unfold in unexpected ways. Let’s find that story together.

Six one-and-a-half-hour live workshops

One half-hour coaching session with me

One live editing session on a personal essay

Techniques and tools to structure your story, find a theme, and create your framework
