Do I need to have writing experience to participate in a workshop?

No previous writing or publishing experience is required for our workshops. Everyone can participate.

Who are these workshops for?

These workshops are designed for writers of all experience levels—from beginners seeking guidance to seasoned authors looking to sharpen their craft or explore new genres.

What can I expect from a typical session?

Each workshop includes interactive discussions, writing prompts, and personalized feedback from Wren Valentino. Sessions focus on craft, creativity, and actionable strategies you can apply to your own writing projects.

Do I need to prepare anything before the workshop?

Preparation depends on the session. Some workshops require a short writing sample or pre-assigned reading, which will be shared in advance. Others are come-as-you-are and ready to write.

What’s the difference between the 1-day, 3-week, and 5-week workshops?

• 1-Day Sessions are standalone and topic-specific, ideal for quick inspiration or focused learning.
• 3-Week Workshops provide more in-depth exploration with time between sessions to write and revise.
• 5-Week Workshops offer the most immersive experience, with extended feedback and the opportunity to work on larger projects over time.

Are workshops offered online or only in person?

Both! Most of our workshops are available virtually via Zoom. Occasionally we will host an in-person workshop (location details are provided upon registration). Choose the format that best suits your schedule and comfort level.

What kinds of writing do the workshops cover?

Workshops cover a wide range of genres and forms including fiction, memoir, playwriting, screenwriting, and poetry. Specific topics vary by session and are listed in the workshop calendar.

Will I get personalized feedback on my writing?

Yes. Personalized feedback is a cornerstone of Workshops with Wren. Whether in a group or one-on-one setting, Wren offers thoughtful, constructive notes tailored to your voice and goals.
