Melissa Greene invites women of all writing levels to join her upcoming Write From the Heart workshops. Women’s Memoir: Exploring Our Life Stories runs from January 20, 2025, to February 17, 2025, and Women’s Intro: Writing Without Fear is from March 4, 2025, to April 1, 2025. Her workshops nurture the creative spirit in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, free from competition, rules and grades. Sharing is optional.

Since 2002, Greene’s classes have been a refuge for writers, from beginners to those returning to the page after a break. “Creative writing teaches us a new way to ‘be,’” she says. “It connects us to our truths and each other.”

Known for her warmth and humor, Greene helps students overcome self-doubt and perfectionism, encouraging spontaneity and creativity. “Creating is about play, being like kids again—tapping into curiosity and wonder, and delighting in what unfolds.”

In addition to her workshops, Greene offers private sessions and leads writing groups for cancer patients.
