Encouraging, safe, and gentle creative writing workshops that help writers grow their craft while also growing their sense of self-love.

 

Monarch Writers Workshop offers memoir writing classes in New York and online. We specialize in creative writing courses for beginners or those who have been intimidated in the past by a harsh writing workshop experience. Monarch Writers Workshop uses a positive-centered critique approach. Writers leave class wanting to dig in and improve. We aim to take shame out of the equation, and instead focus on a growth mindset.

Monarch Writers Workshop also offers intermediate and advanced writing workshops for those with a steady writing practice that would benefit from a more loving approach because of the sensitive nature of that material they’re writing.

Developmental, editing, querying one-on-one services are also available. Email info@monarchwriters.com for a quote.

 
I took multiple creative writing courses with Natassja and I can truly say that she changed the trajectory of my life. Her writing classes are a safe environment to write creatively about your truth. She mentored and guided me and I published what I worked on with her! Highly recommended!

Natassja is a warm and welcoming spirit, and a lovely writer. While working alongside her in our MFA program, I found instant connection with her as a fellow creative nonfiction writer and essayist, and I turned to her several times for thoughts and feedback not just on writing (though her expertise was invaluable there as well), but on the writing process itself. She has a deeply thoughtful understanding of the way that workshops are shaped by power and identity, and I’m confident that this will be a space just as warm and welcoming as Natassja is herself.
