The Opening is a place where you can overcome your hesitation and playfully explore your writing, while getting realistic encouragement, group support and practical problem-solving from a writing professional.

1

Grow into a more productive writer…and be more satisfied with your work.

2

Join a writing community that prioritizes open-ended exploration and sends you home excited to write more.

3

Participate in a non-hierarchical environment that allows you to take risks...and discover the unexpected in yourself, and in the world.

Andy’s class gave me the confidence to  ignore the critical inner voices and just write. With his coaching, I finally finished a book I had been working on for five years.
