Sliding Fee Scale: $40-35-30 per workshop (or $200-175-150 per series)

Pay as you go or all at once—it’s up to you—but please pay as close to the top of the scale as possible. I offer a sliding scale so that women who are struggling with low incomes or challenging fixed incomes have the opportunity to participate.

Registration: First-come, first-serve basis. To inquire or register, please reply to Maya (my terrific registration coordinator) at writelikeariver@gmail.com. No deposit or advance payment is required.

Testimonial: “Chivas, this is your fault! I only want to write. To think about writing. I’m writing all the time—in my head, to myself. I’m energized by thinking/writing/telling/reading/hearing. I love it. And I blame you… Again, I blame you.” Joyce R.
