What Students Say About Working With Danielle
Danielle Lazarin is an insightful teacher whose pragmatic and empathetic approach to the practice of writing resonates for both new and more experienced writers. Working with Danielle I found writing muscles I didn’t know I had, and a fresh perspective on how letting the mind find its way to new ideas and getting out of one’s own way may be two of the most powerful tools in the writer’s toolbox. —Paula
As a first-time writer I so enjoyed Danielle Lazarin's introduction to generative work, "Building the Writing Muscle." Her guidance throughout providing strategies and techniques for moving forward will be essential to my own development as I continue to build a personal writing practice coming out of this class. I would highly recommend her as an instructor for all writers at any stage in their creative development. —Michael
Being Danielle's student really jump-started my personal writing process. Her unique insights are both focused and holistic; it's her advice for the journey that helps you get to the destination you want. As a teacher, she's earned my trust. —former student
Having worked with Danielle for several years both in her classes and one-on-one, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She brings a deep engagement in her own writing life to meet you exactly where you are with empathy, generosity and incisive, practical, results-oriented guidance. She is a master teacher. —coaching client

Generative 1: Building the Writing Muscle with Writing Co-Lab
April 4th-May 9th
This six-week generative fiction class is intended for those new to fiction or anyone who needs an infusion of energy in their current practice. Over the six weeks, you’ll gain practice in accessing the generative impulse as well as concrete stGrategies for spotting opportunities in your earliest drafts. I’ll guide you through thoughtfully designed (and fun!) exercises developed to get the ideas you’ve been holding onto out of your head and onto the page — as well as chip away at the blocks that often prevent us from sitting down to write.
Although we will talk through our process, there’s no workshop or formal work-sharing component in this class. The primary goal here is to strengthen your relationship with starting new work, as well as generating actual pages that can grow into viable projects. This class is best for fiction writers of all levels and forms (short story, novels, flash fiction), and particularly for those who fear a blank page.
