January 2026 - Writers Workshop

New for 2026! The Everett, Inc. is excited to announce a new opportunity for writers and storytellers! Beginning January 24th at 11:00am, The Everett will offer an ongoing writing workshop hosted by Eritria Pitts.

Telling Your Story: Writing Toward Your Voice
This monthly writing series is about returning to your own voice, and learning to trust it. It's for anyone who’s ever said, "I’ve been meaning to write," but life, work, shame, or fear got in the way. Whether you're sitting with a story you've never told, or simply craving a space to write without pressure, these sessions are designed to feel more like an exhale than an assignment.Together, we’ll explore how to write from a place of authenticity. Through writing prompts, optional sharing, and conversation, we’ll begin to chip away at the silence around the stories we’ve carried. No experience necessary, just a willingness to show up, breathe, and begin.This is a space for reflection, release, and remembering: everyone has a story- it’s just a matter of having the space and tools to tell it.
