A letter from us to you…
Dear writer,
The creative writing space needs movers and shakers.
Who's tired of the literati? Who wants more from the Great Western Canon, the Iowa Workshop style, the numerous conferences and fellowships and retreats that all look the same?
Along the way, we've lost sight of what creative writing really is. We're no longer using this magical tool to its full potential because we're worried about how to make our writing marketable. We're trying to cram as many tropes as possible into our stories so we can end up on BookTok. We try to emulate the blase, affected style du jour, sacrificing our distinct voice for literature of the pose. It leaves our writing formulaic, disjointed, and lacking soul.
The truth of the matter is this: creative writing is a sacred process. It requires equal parts diligence and whimsy. It is a process of cultivation, mining the subconscious, materializing something from nothing. Isn't that spectacular? And wouldn't you rather be in a literary space that celebrates and affirms that vision of creative writing?
Celestial Scribes is a writing space that's for us, by us. Our writing approach embraces intuitive, restorative writing practices that are designed to break down your internal barriers and connect you with your creative self. Your workshop peers will be other women and femmes who share the same values and goals. Our goal is to cultivate real artistry while practicing sound pedagogy and craft techniques - in other words, we're in the business of producing excellence. Our own way.
Join us, will you?
