the atelier series 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. While we are a feminist, women-focused organization, we equally welcome all genders to enroll in our workshops and take part in our events.

Our online shop, dulcet, offers poetry and book arts, paper goods, original artwork, accessories, vintage finds, and bath concotions, all of which are available in the studio space during all of our events, selected craft and book fairs, and our bi-monthly open studio nights. Proceeds from the shop go toward dancing girl publications and programming.
