NOTE: The Fall 2023 Session of DIVE is sold out. If you want to be the first to know when signups for our winter session launch, sign up here. 

Our seasonal writing group meets once a month for three months. The ticket price includes all sessions, as well as weekly writing prompts and check-ins from facilitator Kerri Anne Stebbins. 

This writing group is designed to be collaborative and interactive, and it provides you with a ful season of writing support and community. Sessions for our fall session will be held:

• Thursday, October 26 // 4-6 PM PT
• Thursday, November 30 // 4-6 PM PT
• Thursday, December 28 // 4-6 PM PT

Join us for two hours every month for Creative Fuel Collective's popular writing group DIVE, led by Kerri Anne Stebbins. 

All writing experience and genres welcome. No matter what you want to do with your writing, we want to help you get there. Whether you want to start a consistent journaling practice, finish a manuscript, try your hand at writing in some different styles and using a variety of prompts, fine-tune your writing skills, get used to sharing your writing aloud, or simply want to be a part of a monthly space centered on writing encouragement, this is the group for you!

Every month from October through December, we'll write together during class and bring writing we've worked on outside of class to share with each other. We'll encourage one another and hold each other accountable to writing goals we've set for ourselves within a low-key, inclusive, and judgment-free space.

Along with the monthly gatherings, Kerri sends out weekly writing prompts and reflections throughout the course of the writing group, to help keep you invested in a sustainable and generative writing practice. 

This group is capped at 15 people to keep it feeling cozy and collaborative. This writing group is popular so be sure to sign up early! If you want more info on future writing group dates, and be on our writing group mailing list, click here. 

Note that ticket price includes all three monthly sessions and regular writing prompts from Kerri—an excellent dose of seasonal creativity and support.

About Kerri Anne Stebbins

A fan of stories of all sizes and types, Kerri wrote her first play in the 5th grade—an amusing adaptation of an R.L. Stine story. Since then she's centered her life on words, writing and devouring them in equal measure and at every opportunity. After studying English Literature in college, Kerri dove into the business realm of writing; she's been a freelance writer and editor since 2004 and a book marketer for an independent publishing house since 2016. That she gets paid to help people tell their stories will never stop feeling like a dream. A published poet and artist with (arguably way too) many manuscripts in progress, Kerri can't wait to facilitate creativity and connection through consistency and a shared commitment to helping each other unearth our unruliest stories. When she isn't writing, Kerri is most likely swimming in cold water or painting with her feet in an alpine lake.
