Invitation to Joy
- AWL Anthology
Availability Date: November 2024 | Cost: 18.00
‘Invitation to Joy’ takes the reader on a journey filled with joy, grief, betrayal, forgiveness, trauma, self-liberation, friendship, and our relative privileges within color, gender, wealth, language, and citizenship. Essays, poetry, and short stories fill these pages offering a diverse experience from the AWL Community.
Founded in 2019, A Writer’s Life teaches and models intergenerational craft development. Our community is multicultural, multiethnic, and cross-generational, and serves people of all abilities. We write individually and in community, in person and online.

Writing in a room of one’s own, but as part of a writing community to rediscover and revise early or unfinished writing in the October sun in the Bay Area. An extended weekend focused on the art and craft of writing, including seminars and workshops to bridge the analog/anodyne writing world with new-age skill sets of self-marketing and personal brand-building.

Some of us need individual handholding and support for our writing life to thrive and grow. If a one-on-one consultation is what will make your creative life sing in joy, you can choose to set up individual consultations with Andrea, in person or online.
