Creative Writing in the East Bay & Beyond
Dear Writers and Friends, Over the past eight, great years, Diablo Writers’ Workshop has brought adult writers of all ages and experience together to inspire and guide them to discover and tell their stories. Now, more than a hundred classes and two hundred newsletters later, Andrea & Janine are moving on to new chapters in their creative lives. We’re grateful you have shared this journey with us. Together we’ve built a vibrant and supportive writing community and we thank you for that!
What's next?
With an essay collection in the works, Andrea is carving out more time for her own writing. She has a new monthly newsletter, Everything Essay!, on Substack. (Read it here.) She’ll continue as an editor at Brevity Blog and offer occasional virtual classes on Zoom and self-paced courses on Substack. She is leading her Submit-It-Now! sessions on the first Tuesday of the month, hosted by the fine folks at Chill Subs. Check Andrea's personal website for details.
Janine continues her work as a storyteller in three ways: as a podcaster, editor, and educator. Bipolar She is now at 30 episodes and she’s produced a 2nd podcast (new topic coming soon!) Janine offers developmental editing for projects of all lengths, as well as book coaching--from concept to print. With a new certificate from the Center for Journal Therapy, Janine facilitates innovative journaling courses, as well as a Journal & Workshop course for writers craving inspiration.
