The Green Study Workshop is an accessible, affordable, online writing workshop for writers at any level. I started teaching small group workshops in 2021 while I was working on my MFA in Creative Writing. Creating space for writers to come together to focus on a craft issue, discuss their own work, and connect with other writers was a joyful privilege.

Feedback from The Green Study Workshop Writers:
I was welcomed as a member of Michelle’s pilot monthly creative writing workshop two years ago now. I had just started trying to write a first novel, my previous writing experience being in journalism and poetry. Michelle’s focused presentations on specific craft skills and belonging to this friendly online writing community has made a huge difference to what I have been able to achieve – a completed fourth draft that is beginning to feel near the mark! The constructive feedback offered by Michelle and other group members has enabled me to ‘see’ my work from readers’ perspectives when I have been too close for insight or plain stuck. Michelle is a natural leader and sets the tone for a creative environment that is always kind, supportive, and encouraging. -Rosie L.
Michelle has provided me with the kind of workshop I need. She brings sophisticated topics to the board in a way that is functionally illustrative and directly impacts the work I am doing. Michelle also manages this while creating a supportive, interesting, and kind environment in which to successfully create. Magic. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with her. -Kiora T.
By participating in The Green Study Workshop, I have learned the benefits of writing an outline as well as embracing editing while constructing my stories. I appreciate Michelle’s help reviewing my fiction—and having a core of beta readers willing to give their opinions—all leading me to creating more polished writing. I truly enjoy meeting and talking with other writers who are also working on their craft. All writers have to start somewhere; it helps when you can share your doubts and struggles with someone who knows what it feels like. – Kiri S.
The Green Study Workshop has been a transformative experience for me, not only as a writer but also as a person. Not only does Michelle have an extraordinary ability to demystify the craft and nuances of writing into simple, approachable lessons, her focus on the whole writer is what sets her lessons apart. She understands that finding your voice is as much about your own personal growth as much as it is about the technicalities. Through her guidance, I have not only improved and honed my writing skills, writing with confidence and clarity but also gained an understanding for what it means to write authentically.
I encourage people taking these workshops to take advantage of the community they foster – this has been a keystone in my journey, providing me with much needed mutual support and encouragement and reminding me that I am never alone in my creative struggles. – Janani V.
