IWP's Maria Simbra is now an instructor at La Roche University's Lifelong Learning program!
The La Roche Writing Club
Unlock your creative voice in a supportive environment with a workshop-style course designed for writers of all levels. Build a consistent creative practice with guided narrative and collaborative feedback.
What to Expect:
Prompt-driven exploration. Each session focuses on curated, thought-provoking writing prompts to spark stories and life reflections for immediate drafting.
Small group intimacy and interaction. With the group capped at eight participants, you'll work in a tight-knit community where trust, vulnerability, and genuine connection flourish.
The art of sharing. Practice sharing your fresh work in a low-stakes, supportive setting. Learn to give and receive constructive, craft-based encouragement.
Process over perfection. Discover themes and styles that emerge naturally in your unrehearsed prose or poetry.
The course isn't about writing the perfect story. It's about finding the story you didn't know you had in you. Open to anyone age 50 and up who has a passion for words and a willingness to share them.
