Workshops & Webinars
A growing collection of practical writing sessions—created to support you wherever you are in your writing life.
Whether you're just beginning or finding your way back, these workshops are here to meet you where you are and help you grow. Each session is designed to help you feel safe, inspired, and connected to your voice.
Signature Writing Workshops
Writing takes courage. Courage grows in safety. Join author and writing mentor Erica Richmond for a gentle, encouraging workshop designed to help you move through creative blocks, quiet your inner critic, and reconnect with joy in your writing practice. Perfect for new, returning, or tender-hearted writers.
Individual Writing Lessons
Each lesson is focused on specific themes or practices you can step into when you need them.
No matter what lesson you choose, each offering includes:
A pre-recorded video you can move through in your own time
A thoughtfully created PDF with prompts, reflections, or exercises
Quilt essays invite us to work in fragments—small pieces of writing that stand alone and also speak to each other. This form values patience, intuition, and meaning over polish.
The Quilt Essay
A list essay often begins as a simple collection of items, but it can grow into something much more layered and meaningful. Lists help us notice patterns, make connections, and reflect on our lives in surprising ways. This form can stand on its own—or become the foundation for a longer, more developed essay.

The Hermit Crab Essay
A hermit crab essay is a nonfiction essay written inside an existing structure. You borrow a recognizable form—a recipe, glossary, medical form, quiz, instruction manual, or checklist—and use it as the container for narrative.

This space is about showing up regularly, and building a writing life that feels steady, supported, and your own.
Writing is personal. Your stories, your voice, and your inner world deserve a coach who understands both the craft and the emotional landscape of creating. My approach is rooted in safety, clarity, and compassion—because meaningful writing can only happen when you feel supported, seen, and grounded.
You’ll be guided, not pushed.
I don’t believe in harsh critiques, rigid rules, or productivity-at-all-costs. Instead, I offer thoughtful, strengths-focused guidance that helps you grow without overwhelm.
You get support that meets you where you are.
Whether you’re writing for the first time, returning after a long pause, or deep in a project, I tailor our work to your needs, pace, and goals. Your writing journey is unique—you deserve support that honours that.
You’ll build safety, confidence, and trust in your voice.
As an author, teacher, writing mentor, and speaker, I’ve spent years helping people write from a place of emotional steadiness. Together, we create the conditions where your voice can expand and your creativity can breathe.
Your stories matter—and I treat them that way.
I listen deeply. I notice what’s working. I pay attention to the heart of your writing. And I reflect it back to you with honesty, encouragement, and care.
You won’t be doing it alone.
Writing can feel isolating—but it doesn’t have to. When we work together, you have someone in your corner: cheering you on, helping you navigate stuck places, celebrating your progress, and holding space for your words.
