Writing On The Dark Side

Welcome to the dark side of writing, a process that encourages writers to examine their own darkness of pain and suffering in order to achieve the benefits derived from self-exploration.


Why Do It

Uncovering the dark soul (where pain and fear hide), releases a treasure chest of creativity, the gold of truth for both fiction and nonfiction writers. The best art comes from truth–modified through fiction–but truth nonetheless.


Who Should Attend

The class is for beginning and advanced fiction and nonfiction writers of any age. Anyone interested in deepening their writing by exploring the hidden emotions that drive a story will benefit by this work.


How Is It Taught

The class format will incorporate methods of role-playing, in-class assignments, and dream work to push beyond the blocks and dip into the black ink of imagination.


How Do I Sign Up

Private sessions need to be scheduled in advance while classes are held at various times throughout the year. Go to our contact page to get in touch with Jill Kleiss.
