THE GEMS Difference
GEMS Unearthed workshops offer a unique and supportive space where writing is only part of the experience. Thoughtfully facilitated, they cultivate a sense of community and belonging, bringing women together in an environment of trust, reflection, and shared purpose.
The GEMS writing experience is designed to ignite creativity and enhance storytelling skills; guiding every contributing author to the finish line with a story that resonates deeply with reading audiences and with narrative that carries the power to inspire, evoke emotion, and spark meaningful conversations.

How GEMS works
WRITE YOUR STORY
In one of two ways...
1.
2.
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH
Write your own story. Your best work emerges from quiet introspection and reflection, while independently unearthing meaningful narratives and sharpening your authentic voice.
BIOGRAPHY STYLE
Pair-up with an industry colleague or friend and write each others’ story. You benefit from an accountability partner and objective collaborator who can see strengths, contributions, and impacts that you might overlook or downplay.
