Writing offerings
Writing is a solitary activity best done in groups. ~ Bill Paterson
Welcome to Open Sky Stories
You will find nourishing opportunities for writers of all styles and levels.
When I look back through my life, my unhappiest times were those when I was not actively creating.
I offer a variety of writing opportunities including workshops, groups, and events centering around fostering creative expression. They prioritize the process of creation rather than aiming for a masterpiece.
Let me guide you through practices that are designed to help you to embrace your own creative power.
These small group writing sessions are becoming a bright spot in my week. The open ended writing with minimal accountability is perfect, and Erica leads the session so beautifully.

I loved joining the Safety in Numbers writing group. Erica has created such a welcoming and supportive space, and even though we’re all working on different things, there is the friendly solidarity of writing together.
I really enjoy the writing group. It helps so much for accountability and motivation. I’ve been trying to write but book for ages and this is the first time I’ve been able to make decent progress. I really enjoy the conversations in the group as well.
I thoroughly enjoy the Open Sky Stories writing group with Erica. It is a wonderful way to make a commitment to writing a few times each week. Erica makes everyone feel welcome and is a great facilitator, keeping everyone focused on the purpose of the group. It is so nice to meet a diverse group of people who have a similar interest to one another.
I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re looking to develop your craft, find creative inspiration, or connect with a community of writers, Open Sky Stories is here to support your journey. Let’s create something wonderful together!
