Creative Writing Workshop with Audrey Atkins

Wild Chrous: Crafting Stories from Song and Nature

Step into the artistic grounds of Standard Deluxe with
Birmingham-based artist and writer Audrey Atkins.
Let music, poetry, and the living landscape inspire your
every word. This three-hour workshop welcomes writers,
musicians, poets, and creative souls of all backgrounds.

·      Write where the wild meets the melodic—Guided prompts
and song-based exercises to help you tap into the musicality of
language and the stories that grow from the ground beneath
your feet

·      Shape unforgettable characters and story arcs—Drawing
wisdom from the legendary traditions of singer/songwriters
and Southern storytelling

·      Experience the intersection of music and poetry—With
dedicated time for imaginative writing, discussion, and
hands-on exploration outdoors

·      Take the stage at open mic readings—Sharing new work
in a welcoming, encouraging community of fellow creators

·      Connect with nature—as we wander, observe, and let the
rhythms of the landscape stir our sense of place and inspiration

Leave with fresh pages, new tools, and a richer connection to
both nature and your own creative voice. Whether you come
for poetry, story, or song, you’ll leave ready to write—and sing
—your own wild story. Bring whatever tools you prefer for
writing, a blanket, and comfy shoes. —
