Thursdays on the Stoop is a series of free, virtual writing workshops led for and by our community members. With topics ranging from generative prompts to editing strategies, these informal workshops are sure to shake up your Thursday routine. RSVP below to get the link.

In this free hour-long workshop, we'll explore ways to use astrological symbolism for writerly inspiration and insight. Participants will learn how astrology has shaped several famous writers' work, and then apply these frameworks to their own practices. The session will also include a general introduction to astrology, a discussion of the significance of Mercury (the planet of communication), and a Q&A, time permitting.
