With that as our goal, we are holding two one-hour "interest sessions" - one in person and one virtual - to assess interest and to learn from novel writers what issues, topics, and types of support a course in novel writing can offer you.

Wherever you are on your novel-writing journey, please join us for one of these interest sessions.

This session runs: In person

Ordinary Wonders: A Writing Workshop

with Leighann Rechtin

Next session: November 14th, 2026

$45 More Info

Inspired by Wendy Cope's beloved poem The Orange, this Saturday afternoon workshop explores the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.

What small moments bring delight? What familiar objects deserve a second look? What ordinary experiences have quietly shaped your life?

Through poetry, reflection, and generative writing, we'll practice paying attention to the simple gifts that often go unnoticed. Together we'll discover how wonder is not something we find but something we cultivate.

Come prepared to slow down, notice deeply, and celebrate the beauty of ordinary things.

Open to: All Genders, Ages 18+

About the Facilitator: Leighann believes writing is one of the most powerful ways we come home to ourselves. As an educator, facilitator, and lifelong learner, she creates welcoming spaces where curiosity, reflection, and connection can flourish. Whether writing poetry, personal stories, or simply noticing the world with fresh eyes, she hopes participants leave feeling more grounded, inspired, and connected to their own voice.
