Writers Workshops are open to people with dissociative coping strategies who wish to share their writing with others for feedback and affirmation. Our workshops welcome folks at all stages of writing – beginners to experienced – and in many genres – from journaling, essays, poetry, memoir, to fiction. You will find a supportive community at Dissociative Writers Workshops!

Workshops are currently scheduled every Tuesday at 1 pm Eastern US Time (12 pm Central, 11 am Mountain, 10 am Pacific) in two different formats on alternate weeks: draft & discuss where writers sign up ahead of time to share their writing for feedback, and writing-in-place where writers come without pre-written pieces and write in the workshop in response to prompts. 

We also offer an evening writing-in-place workshop on Wednesdays at 8 pm Eastern (7 pm Central, 6 pm Mountain, 5 pm Pacific Time).

Focused writing group meets weekly on Mondays at 12 noon Eastern (11 am Central, 10 am Mountain, 9 am Pacific) and on Thursdays at 1:00 pm Eastern (12 noon Central, 11 Mountain, 10 Pacific). This is a time for subscribers to bring their own writing projects to the table and write for 60-90 minutes with brief check-ins. There is no feedback given at Focused Writing, just a time to write with peers.

Dissociative Writers’ community platform is Heartbeat Chat. All Zoom gatherings can be accessed from there, as well as discussion channels pertaining to writing and related issues
