Southern Momentum Creative Writing Workshops is a Southern-rooted literary ecosystem passionate about making writing an essential and accessible part of everyday wellness.
We believe writing belongs in more places than classrooms, Substack, and private journals. Writing belongs anywhere people gather to work, heal, lead, create, remember, reconnect, or make sense of what doesn’t.
Our creative writing workshops fit into any already meaningful programming. The AWA Method is rooted in reflection, creativity, psychological safety, collaboration, and genuine human connection. Our writing workshops are a creative pathway toward deeper trust, clearer communication, and stronger collective intelligence.
To ensure ease of process, we developed The Writing Momentum Workshop Matrix™ to bring low-risk/high return writing programs to places where creative writing workshops are often not utilized as development, team building, or as an essential part of a mentally healthy environment.
