Workshops Coaching and Mentorship
Are you an established or emerging writer looking for a place that will offer practical, specific feedback, targeted brainstorming, respectful and kind guidance, and essential support with technique? I have 35 years of celebrated experience in writing for screen, stage, and media to bring to bear as we quickly hone in on what ails you, freeing your inspiration and creativity. You’ll be approached as a fellow writer, not as a student, with respect, positivity and rigour. Together, we’ll focus on what you need, what you are writing and why you’re writing it. I offer one-on-one sessions, as well as group writing intensives. If you’re looking for community and the spark of creativity that happens with mutual risk and support, please reach out about upcoming intensives. If you need dedicated work on your project, please contact me for ongoing or one-off one-on-one sessions.
Diane Flacks is a master of her craft. Her work is an unlocking of you. She creates space for you to discover your voice—and she does it with specificity, enthusiasm, and a dash of I dare ya. I can’t recommend her writing workshops enough.
Mikaela Davies
Diane is a wonderful teacher and is a master in storytelling. In a four-weekend workshop I was able to take a germ of an idea and form it into a viable solo show with Diane’s expert guidance. She facilitates group work with so much generosity and wisdom. She creates an atmosphere of openness and warmth - making sharing vulnerable material so much easier. I feel so grateful to have worked with her and will continue to do so.
Tracy Ryan
In a shockingly short time, I went from having a scattered and incoherent pile of raw ideas for a solo show, to having a ten-minute piece that was ready to be tried out on a live audience… plus a game plan for the work to follow. Diane makes magic things happen, and helps shape your creative path with her nurturing curiosity and sharp observations. Most of all, after working with Diane I feel braver than I thought I could be.
Stephanie Morgenstern
With your gentle guidance I feel that I have created something very special. I realized the other day that this is the first time in my life that I don't feel like an imposter. It is huge for me.
thank you for your gift of supporting me and offering your amazing input, which made a huge difference. I thank you for encouraging me to own my story, appreciative yet not worried that because you offered feedback it means it isn't my story any more, quite the opposite, you guided me to continue creating my story in my words.
Thank you again!
