Welcome to Firefly
If you want to spend more time writing, you’ve come to the right place.
We help people reconnect to the pleasure and power of writing, online and in Toronto. We run cozy small group writing workshops and larger format online writing programs. Get to know us through our blog, our free video writing prompts, or the 2-minute video above.
Whatever you do — keep writing. One word and sentence and story at a time, we build the world we want to live in.
Believing in you already,
~ Chris, Asifa, Sophia, Lesley, Britt, Kim, Heather, Mari, and Sydney
FAQs

We welcome all kinds of writers. Some of the common stories we hear are:
“I used to write but then I stopped, and I want to find my way back there.”
“I have an idea for something I want to write, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I don’t know what I’m going to write, I just know it’s time.
“I want to be more creative, but I’m scared and overwhelmed by the idea of it.”
We shine when we’re helping people to find their power as writers and reclaim the joy of the blank page. We also love to help stuck writers come back to their magic or move a project forward.
We don’t specialize in helping people with the technical aspects of writing like grammar and spelling, or navigating the publishing world.

Yes, we only offer programming online and in barrier-free spaces. Currently, all our in-person workshops are a St. Matthews Clubhouse, on the edge of Riverdale Park in Toronto. We offer detailed information about accessibility on the individual pages for our in person programs. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions.

You sure can. We have a suite of workshops designed for organizations, and we often create custom ones. Hit us up with any ideas.
Can we keep in touch?
Every 2-3 weeks we email out a poem we love, and news of upcoming workshops. If you want in, leave us your coordinates.
Needless to say, we would never, ever use this list for anything other than sharing the love of writing, Firefly-style.
