I want to thank you again for an incredible experience. Your passion really inspires me, and makes me want to write all the time. I feel so lucky that I got the opportunity to be free and learn so much during those two days. Thanks a lot! --writers' festival participant


Teaching Across the Writing Spectrum

Drawing from several years of teaching experience at writers' festivals, colleges, and secondary and elementary schools, Katie Daley offers dynamic writing workshops for beginners and pros alike. A devotee of playfulness, she also offers workshops that are especially designed for those who don't consider themselves writers but who want to try a hand at exploring the world and their lives with their pens. She is available for one-hour and one-day workshops as well as weeklong residencies in the schools.


The workshop was way too much fun for English class alone. --high school student, poetry residency


Creative Writing

As a creative writing teacher, Katie specializes in de-mystifying the creative process and helping writers tune into the wilder side of their imaginations. She also coaches poets on spoken word performance and is dedicated to spreading the word through the voice as well as the pen.

Business and Essay Writing

As a teacher of essay and business writing, Katie offers playful and easy techniques for breaking through writer's block, grabbing readers' attention, designing a compelling and entertaining argument, and smoothing out the glitches in grammar and style.
