Looking for a chance to see me read at an event? Are you looking for a Richmond, Virginia area writing tutor, teacher, workshop leader? Or maybe you’d prefer a virtual setting?

With 8 years of teaching experience, I have led public school classrooms, private workshops, 1:1 sessions, and so much more. From teaching budding readers the skills they need to grow their skills to helping students refine their college essays with their authentic voice and style, I would love to teach you or your student something new!

Take a look at what I have to offer below. Updates will be made when new workshops or events hit, so bookmark this page and follow me on Instagram at @writinggales to see my latest events around the area and virtually.

You can also always make requests of kinds of classes you would love to do. I can see if I can offer them or point you in the right direction!

In-Person & Virtual Classes & Workshops

Quarry

July’s Craft of Writing Club is themed! Sign up for Storycraft: Finding Your Symbols and Motifs here!

Are you looking for a community of writers? Do you want to explore a new genre, experiment with form, or just want to write beside other writers? Bring a current work-in-progress for critique or start a brand new draft. Each session will focus on something different and will never quite look the same. Gretchen will provide prompts, guidance, and fun tools to ignite your writing practice!

(Quarry’s ‘clubs’ do not require membership or any particular commitment to regular attendance.)
