| dancing girl press & studio |
|
Our studio is the home of dancing girl press, as well as a common space for readings, workshops, special events and salons devoted to feminist and women's poetics. Inspired by Virginia Woolf's call for every woman to have a personal, creative space, we seek to be a locus of women-centered writing, teaching and thought.

Studio programming is designed toward three primary goals: 1) to feature women writers and discussions related to women's writing and art, 2) to offer a peer community in which to develop ones work, while engaging that of others, and 3) to foster practical nuts & bolts discussions about the writing and publishing life for writers at all levels in their careers. Our workshops and retreats cover everything from in-depth critique and writing sessions to fast and dirty how-to's on submitting one's work, DIY publishing, and approaching small presses. Our convenient scheduling (evenings & weekends) works perfectly for those who work full-time and yet want the benefit of a serious, creative community. While we are a feminist, women-focused organization, we equally welcome all genders to enroll in our workshops and take part in our events.
