Private Writing Workshops in Victoria, BC

Book a writing party or private workshop for your friends and family ☀️

Hey, I’m Monika!

I’m passionate about the power of writing together and how it helps build kind and imaginative connections.

When we write together, there is a shared crackle of creativity, increased compassion for each other, and a deeper sense of connection.

I love to help facilitate that kind of connection in my writing parties and private workshops. (We also have a boatload of fun! 🎉)

My writing parties and private workshops are available to book in Victoria, Langford, Saanich, and anywhere on the peninsula.

“Monika has such a creative and compassionate approach to leading writing workshops. She comes with a huge amount of knowledge, while also making sure everyone in the room feels comfortable and inspired regardless of experience!”

— Deborah Vogt
