INCREDIBLE WORKSHOP SERIES!
You can join the live classes every month --

Every session is recorded!
You don't need to be working on a deadline or a specific project to join RIGHT TO WRITE.
This monthly workshop is for everyone who wants to write.
It isn't about creating a product. It's about the writing process.
It's about unleashing your voice and finding freedom on the page.
It's about how you show up for your creative work.
RIGHT TO WRITE IS FOR YOU:
- If you love to write
- If you long for a consistent writing practice
- If you struggle to claim time for your creativity
- If you need inspiration that will get you unstuck
- If you need accountability and community
- If you want to discover what you'd write if you weren't afraid
Open to all genres & all levels. Beginners welcome.
How RIGHT TO WRITE works:
On the second Tuesday of every month (which is Wednesday in Australia), I facilitate a virtual writing workshop based on a theme.
You get:
- TWO HOURS of generative writing every month
- A MINI LECTURE from me about the theme
- A ton of WRITING PROMPTS you can use on your own again and again
- CAMARADERIE
-
ACCOUNTABILITY
Plus, THE WORKSHOPS ARE RECORDED. If you can't attend live, you can watch whenever your schedule allows.
Listen to why Lillace joined Right to Write for the 5th time!
The Magic of RIGHT TO WRITE:
Cultivate Consistency
Develop a regular writing practice that will nurture your creative instincts and spark new ideas.
Build a Collection of Prompts
The monthly prompts are tools you can use again and again to enhance your craft, overcome blocks, and deepen your practice.
Unleash Your Creativity
Generative writing is about freedom and permission. It helps you break through limitations and practice trusting your ideas and yourself.
Leave Perfectionism Behind
Perfectionism is the enemy of creativity. Generative writing is an antidote to perfectionism. It is about welcoming first thoughts, experimenting with syntax, and playing with form. The better we get at withholding judgment and tending our ideas, the more ideas will visit us.
Connect with Other Writers
You’ll be amazed at what happens when writers from around the world create together.
Fall in Love with Writing Again
Writing regularly, in community, will remind you why you love to write. Tend your creativity. It belongs to you. It’s your birthright.

Meet Sarah Sentilles
I've been leading RIGHT TO WRITE for seven years. It was the first online workshop I ever offered and continues to be one of the key ways I support writers and their creativity. I love facilitating these monthly workshops.
I've been writing seriously for almost 30 years. And in that time I've learned how important it is to stay connected to my biggest vision. To protect time for my art. I've also learned writing is primarily about listening. Which means we need to slow down and trust ourselves and the ideas that visit us. I designed RIGHT TO WRITE to help you practice that and to find more freedom on the page.
Here's a little bit about me: I'm the author of five books, including Draw Your Weapons, which won the 2018 PEN Award for Creative Nonfiction. My most recent book, Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What Isn’t Ours, was published by Random House and was a New York Times Editor’s Choice and Idaho Book of the Year. My writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, among other publications. I've had residencies at Hedgebrook and Yaddo. I earned a bachelor's degree at Yale and master's and doctoral degrees at Harvard. I'm also the co-founder of the Alliance of Idaho, which works to protect the human rights of immigrants. I live in Idaho's Wood River Valley, with my family.
