Monday Freewrite with Dian Greenwood

About this event

Join us Mondays this summer for a generative freewriting session. This group will be led by author Dian Greenwood. Each session will begin with a writing prompt, then dedicated writing time, followed by time for willing participants to share what they wrote. Meet other writers in a friendly space, explore your own craft, and be surprised at what your mind creates with a prompt and time to write. This group is open to writers of all levels and is a supportive environment. [Dian Greenwood](https://diangreenwood.com/) studied writing (emphasis on poetry) at San Francisco State University. She later studied novel writing with Janet Fitch (*White Oleander*) and Tom Spanbauer (*In the City of Shy Hunters*). Dian published *About the Carleton Sisters* (2023, She Writes Press) at age 81 and, a year later, *Forever Blackbirds* (2024). The Blackbird sequel, *Blackbird Whistling* came out in September 2025, both books from Traveler’s Moon Press. Dian previously published essays in the online magazine, *The Big Smoke, America*. Her Substack essays can be found at It’s Never Too Late. Dian lives in Portland, Oregon, where she writes and works as a family therapist.
