FREE Write Free Playshop in Petaluma







This information comes from our friends Rebecca Lawton and Jordan E. Rosenfeld. Rebecca will be one of our editors in the Meet the Editors at the upcoming Redwood Writers Conference and Jordan will be leading one of the morning session.


They let us know this wonderful opportunity for local writers being held this weekend at the Petaluma Copperfield's store.






Join Rebecca Lawton and Jordan E. Rosenfeld at the spectacularly renovated Copperfield's Books, Petaluma, California, for a FREE two hour Write Free Playshop that will inspire creativity and help you attract publication.

The Write Free work relies on a universal principle in which like attracts like. We use our writing energy to consciously attract the lives we want by flowing our creative vibrations onto paper.

A Write Free Playshop. Saturday July 18, 2-4 p.m. Copperfield's Petaluma.

In the first hour, Becca and Jordan will take you through playful ways to generate ideas and work, inspiration and elbow grease.

In the second hour, you'll playfully adjust your attitude about attracting success and publication, with exercises and games that help you make this shift.

Just as you create worlds, images, essays, and stories with your words, you can create the artist's life you dream of with just as much pleasure and delight. We invite you to energize your dreams!
