Workshops with Yellow Arrow Publishing
Yellow Arrow workshops are supportive, generative, small-group sessions offered online. Each workshop is led by a talented and supportive instructor. Writers of all levels and genres are encouraged to join! Workshops are fantastic for emerging writers seeking an encouraging community of creatives, or for experienced writers looking for inspiration for new drafts. Workshop enrollments are intended for women-identifying writers unless stated otherwise.

2024 Yellow Arrow Workshop Schedule
Poetry is Life
$35 each session or $175 for all 6 sessions (January-June)
In each class, we will read and discuss new poets and old favorites who have written gems on our monthly theme. Past themes have included writing about nature, grief, protest, and more. In the class, you will write and share new work. You will come away from each session with three or four drafts. Those who commit to the full six sessions will receive the added benefit of an extra workshop session for 30 minutes after the class, to have a new poem workshopped each month. Participants will also have the opportunity to share work with their cohort and the instructor between sessions. This workshop is co-ed.
