Hello and happy October! I’m popping in with a reminder about October workshops at Muse, including a special Halloween-inflected prose poem workshop on the 28th. (There are only 5 spots left!)
Keep reading for information about the three workshop opportunities this month. Thank you for being part of this community, and happy autumn to you all!

OCTOBER OFFERINGS:
GENERATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP ON ZOOM THIS SATURDAY 10/7!
Join some delightful Muse regulars for short discussions of poems and essay excerpts, and timed writing exercises. (Sharing is optional.) Suitable for poets, essayists, and writers of flash fiction.
These two-hour workshops happen the first Saturday of the month, and there are three left this season (October, November, December). We meet from 1-3pm Eastern. The sessions can be taken separately or together.
Individual Cost
$40 per drop-in session// $25 for paid Substack subscribers
$90 for all three sessions// $56 for paid Substack subscribers
Paid subscribers to my Substack also receive a discount. (Email me at jpcooper7@gmail.com for Substack discount code.)
No refunds for missed sessions, but I will record each session for that day’s participants.
OPENING 10/22: A WEALTH OF RESOURCES & GUIDANCE ON THE LYRIC ESSAY!
I’m excited to offer a self-guided version of Writing the Lyric Essay, a course I originally designed for Creative Nonfiction. Students will go through the self-guided class together, offering each other feedback, and it opens on October 22nd. $50
The class is asynchronous (meaning that you don’t have to be there at any particular time), and students will be sent all the course materials at the end of the course!
A SPOOKY PROSE POEM WORKSHOP ON SAT. 10/28! (only 5 spots left)
I’m offering a new one-day (Halloween-inflected!) Zoom-based workshop on prose poems on Saturday October 28th, Through the Veil: A Prose Poem Workshop. We’ll read poems that move “between worlds” (in various ways), and I will provide timed writing exercises. We’ll look at the spectral, the uncanny, the half-hidden, and the unexplained. $75
