Witty stories about rural country life from the voice of a former suburbanite. Example: Waking up and fighting a rooster named Billy Kelloggs for an egg each morning.
Lynn's writing journey is a shared experience for writers looking for direction and community in the creative process - she pulls a tarot card and analyzes it, interprets it, and offers a prompt for you to travel along. Her writing fosters a learned sense of building a short story on the micro level into something expansive and lush and cosmic.
When our civilization crumbles and we are left with tufts of overgrown grass and the mossed patina that lives on cities, there will still be M.E. Rothwell exploring and documenting the former civilizations that have crumbled. Simply the most immersive, gorgeous, and meticulously researched explorations of ancient cities and vibrant cultures.
Julian pools together all the upcoming events in the Philly writing scene, and fosters workshop community for growing writers, and it's an incredible resource. He takes all the artistic ingredients of the city, dumps them in a blender with personal musings, and pours it out for you every week. I don't care if you're lactose intolerant - drink this shit up.
Robert can take a myth and deconstruct it to its base ingredients. He'll put you in an ancestral century with a fox and guide you right up to how it influenced the Ninetails Pokemon living inside your 1997 Gameboy cartridge. A spring of goodness for those curious about roots and origins.
