Want to Take My Writer’s Workshop For Free? I’m Looking For an Amazing Proofreader

This Spring, I’m working my way through the Writer’s Workshop and giving the course a facelift. I can’t believe it’s already been four years since we launched the first round of the course. (In fact, some nostalgic trivia: I still know the names and faces of each of the people in the course and love watching their work evolve and grow to this date.)

I’m looking for a bit of help proofreading and reviewing the course and I’m searching for 2 great editors and proofreaders:

If you’re interested in getting complimentary access to the course in exchange for doing some proofreading, please let me know right away by filling out this form:

Sign up to be a proofreader of The Writer’s Workshop

I’ll be reaching out to people this week, on or before Wednesday, March 15th, 2017.

What the project includes:

  • Get a complimentary login to The Writer’s Workshop
  • Read through the 8 lessons, watch the 4 videos, listen to the 6 interviews, and do each of the exercises as in-depth as you’d like.
  • Review each exercise for typos or time-stamp or context errors (if I reference a past year, for example, we’d update that).
  • Review the email series (approximately 20 emails) for the same.

Note: the course normally takes 2-4 hours per week over 8 weeks to complete, and I’d like you to complete it faster than this. You should be available before March 31st to have approximately 12-16 hours to read and review the course and watch the videos.

And for two people that would like to sign up to do this, I’ll also host an hour-long private writing chat with me about any topic of your choosing and chat about any questions you might have about your own writing practice.

Can’t wait to meet you!

Radio Interview: Musings on Design, Environment, Behavior and Sustainability

How do you build a sustainable life, what does psychology have to do with cities, and how do you wield the power of learning how to say both yes and no strategically? Did you design your own job? How do you balance a full-time job with all the side projects you want to do? What happens when you’re frustrated because your employer doesn’t understand that you want to do more than what you’re already doing? What is environmental determinism? What is the relationship between environment, design, and behavior? Is the world around us really just a game?

And for goodness sake, what does it feel like to swim Alcatraz naked?

Last night I was fortunate to be guest #66 on Radio Enso hosted by Greg Berg. It turns out radio interviews are really fun! As a Prairie Home Companion and NPR enthusiast, I am quite fond of the audio-only medium. (Plus, Greg was an incredible host–impeccably well-prepared and GREAT questions.)

Listen here: Radio Enso #66 with Sarah Kathleen Peck.

If you have more time, also check out the quick video round-up by Todd Schnick on how to kick ass in 2013. I have a one-minute spot in it where I talk about my favorite two tips for how to get things done (hint: get started, and do less than you think).

What questions do you have?

Enjoy, sarah signature
