Tiny Life Stories

📒 Ready to write your unwritten stories?

Start to record your life’s most meaningful memories with Tiny Life Stories, a 3-week workshop series!

Together we’ll write tiny life stories about the experiences that shaped us, the places we called home, and the people we loved.

If you have amazing life stories that you want to share, this is your weekly creative date to get motivated and inspired alongside a small group of writers.

📝 Here’s how it works:

We’ll spend three weeks writing together in a cozy workshop setting.

This creative writing series aims to give you short (but impactful) writing exercises, dedicated writing time, and supportive feedback on your stories.

🌻 This workshop series is ideal for you if:

• You want to start writing down memories from your life but are unsure where or how to begin.

• You’re excited to explore different chapters of your life with your pen in hand.

• You’re interested in starting small! This workshop series is not about finishing a lengthy memoir, but rather giving ourselves space and permission to write down tiny and heartfelt stories to share with people we love.

• You feel prepared (though maybe also nervous) to share your writing.

• You like to give encouraging feedback to your fellow writers—and receive supportive feedback in return!

• You look forward to writing and sharing within a small group (there will never be more than 8 writers in the workshop).

🌳 You can expect to leave the workshop with:

• Plenty of new writing and starts to your nonfiction narratives. (You’ll have lots of time in these workshops to write!)

• Prompts and “creative homework” to inspire your writing at home.

• New friends who are also fellow writers.

• Increased self-compassion for your writing journey.

• A feeling of creative courage and momentum ✨

🙋🏻‍♀️ Your workshop leader:

• I’m Monika, a freelance author of 50+ books for schools, and I firmly believe everyone is a writer. Want to get to know me better? I’ve got a mini bio here.
