Tarot for Fiction Writers

Poking my head up from quarantine to announce I’ll be teaching a Tarot for Fiction Writers class via Zoom next month through The Writing Circle! Here’s the details:

The 78 cards that make up the Tarot offer an archetypal overview of all of life: from the child-like innocence of ‘The Fool’ to the expansive mastery presented in ‘The World.’ In this four week class, through lecture and writing exercises, you’ll learn tarot-based techniques to structure and strengthen your fiction, and discover methods to dig deep into your characters’ backstories and desires. We’ll also discuss strategies for utilizing the Tarot during the revision process. At the end of the class, students are invited to workshop a short story or novel chapter for personalized feedback from me. No previous tarot experience necessary. We will be using the Rider-Waite Tarot.

The course is capped at twelve students to afford time for personal feedback and workshopping. Learn more or register here—and hope to “see” you there!
