Workshops THE VERTICAL PRONOUN offers editing, writing coaching, and instruction in memoir and personal essay, as well as other genres, one-on-one (via e-mail and phone, anywhere), and occasionally in groups (in person, in NYC). Folks of all ages and with any amount of writing experience (including none) and at any stage of the writing process are warmly welcome. INDIVIDUAL COACHING: As always, THE VERTICAL PRONOUN is happily available for individual consultation/editing/coaching at various levels of intensity and frequency. If you've got a completed first draft and want a sharp edit, or an outline or proposal in need of shaping, or you are just exploring and seeking guidance, give a holler! NYC GROUP WORKSHOPS: Have a completed or partial manuscript hankering for comprehensive feedback? Amorphous ideas in search of a sounding board? Or yearning for a course in personal writing? Fill out a brief questionnaire, pinpointing your literary goals and logistical preferences for future in-person workshops. Spread the word. Have a loved one who is yearning to tell his or her story? THE VERTICAL PRONOUN also makes a great gift! Let's work together, to chip away at that block of marble and find the statue emerging.
