“Sage’s workshops are the perfect mix of information sharing, real-world example analysis, and creativity-sparking exercises—all in a supportive, low-stress, playful space that she creates. Writers need tools of the craft combined with repeatable paths to creativity. Sage delivers in flying colors on both.” — Kirsten Lambertson, Reach Your Apex Workshops

Like a Trampoline for Your Creativity

Look, I’ve taught 150+ workshops for places like Second City, SmokeLong Quarterly, and a brilliant theatre collective in Bangalore (true story). Here’s why mine are more like recess than detention:

1. We worship messy drafts
I’ve developed exercises that trick writers into bypassing their inner critics, like creative constraints where perfectionism isn’t invited. The goal? Mine the raw gems hidden in your roughest drafts.

2. Craft? Intuition? Let’s do both
After telling stories for NPR and PBS (and that heart-pounding GrandSLAM win), I’ve learned when to follow rules and when to light them on fire. We’ll analyze award-winning work, then make the techniques work for your voice.

3. Your voice, not some “rules”
My workshops got featured in the Toronto Star precisely because I don’t make you write like some MFA clone. We’ll sharpen your weird, not erase it.
