Rocky Mountain Writer #116

Posted on February 20, 2018 by Mark Stevens

Alissa Johnson & Setting Achievable Goals 

Award winning writer and WritingStrides coach Alissa Johnson recently presented to the Western Slope branch in Grand Junction and she will give RMFW’s free monthly talk in March, “Writing Reset: Setting Achievable Goals.” (That workshop is Saturday, March 17 in Denver.)

On the podcast, Alissa talks with guest interviewer Natasha Watts about her WritingStrides community and how to balance creativity with your career.

Ever wish you could hit the reset button for your writing? Perhaps return to the energy and enthusiasm you felt at the start of the year or create a fresh start? You can.

Alissa Johnson is a nationally published and award winning writer whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Masters Review, Wilderness News, and Dirt Rag Magazine among other publications. She was associate editor at the Crested Butte News until 2017, and her writing has won awards from the Colorado Press Association and FundsforWriters.

Alissa holds an MFA in Creative and Professional Writing from Western Connecticut State University.
