Hello Enchanted Friends:

🌹Spindles and Thorny Towers: Rewriting Briar Rose
Here’s a description from our fearless leader, Kristen Baum DeBeasi:
“In this Feb. 22 workshop, we’ll look together at some magic moments from “Sleeping Beauty” retellings in both poems and prose, talking a bit about their methods for rethinking a dear old tale. Thus inspired, we’ll approach that briared tower in new ways. In a set of fun, short exercises with attached free-writing times, we’ll ask ourselves some strange and enchanting questions about fairies and curses, spindles and dreams, finding new ways around the tale through fresh imagistic and narrative moves. There will be time for any who want to share their work for encouraging feedback. Fairy Godparents, bring your pens and spindles, your notebooks and your spells–it’s going to be an enchanting time!”
🤩 The workshop leader will be Sally Rosen Kindred, a noted poet! The workshop is only for members.
But there’s much more!
🦭🌕 We’ve added a tremendous bonus for 2025! Kelly Jarvis’s fantastic new novella, Selkie Moon, will be sent by email to each 2025 member in late February.
