About this Event

Ramona Ausubel


The Brower Center - Goldman Theater


Being a writer means coming up against self-doubt. But what if it doesn't have to be so scary? What if the blank page felt more like an invitation than a cliff?

Does it sometimes seem like your novel is trying to K*ll you? Have you considered divorcing a story? Me too.

In this gathering we will work through a few exercises designed to bring joy and a sense of possibility and invention so that you and your writing will once again be besties (or at least unlikely to M**der each other).

Based on my new book UNSTUCK: 101 Doorways Leading from the Blank Page to the Last Page (Tin House, 4/14/26)


There will not be table space provided in our Writers' Workshop venues, so in addition to bringing paper and a pen, we recommend bringing a book or other hard surface to write on.
