Whitespace Writers

Whitespace Writers runs creative writing workshops designed to spark inspiration and help writers of all experiences and levels find their voice and tell their story. For our purpose as writers, however, we're stealing (like all good writers do) the term 'white space' to mean 'the place where storytelling happens beyond the words'. Yes we need words to tell a story, but they are simply our tools.

They are not the story itself. Storytelling is birthed in the white space- that magical, intimidating, mysterious part of our beings that dares to believe we have something to say, but is often overwhelmed by all the mechanics it takes to say it, aka words, sentences, paragraphs, punctuation, etc. In whitespace workshops, we put the fear and obsession surrounding the actual mechanics of storytelling on the back burner, and we focus on cultivating a rich 'white space' where ideas and characters and plots and memories can emerge, and stew, and be encouraged in a safe and respectful environment.
