What Is Linden Hills Writers Group

Sometimes all you need is a nudge.

Linden Hills Writers Group is a warm, inviting space to write for the sake of writing.

  • The facilitator will provide several writing prompts per session and give you time to write.

  • At the end of each prompt, participants are invited to share their work aloud, and receive positive comments.

  • We write on paper with pen or pencil only -- no laptops or tablets allowed. Keyboard clacking can be distracting, as can squiggly red lines that invite you to edit as you go. There is a time to edit. This is the time to write.

  • Most offerings are for adults only. Keep an eye out for occasional offerings for kids and teens.

Meet Abbi Palsma

I'm like you. I'm a writer with a day job that I love, an unfinished novel, and a few bylines to my name. Long ago I found my voice as a fiction writer through a writers group similar to this one. Up to that point, I had only written non-fiction, but with a few simple prompts, I found a rhythm.Writers are motivated by so many things. Curiosity. A way with words. A desire to publish. Wobbly confidence and unexpected bravery. Bring that spark, and let's find out what you will write.
