Workshops for Writers - April 5: Anyone Can Be A Poet

Join the St. Louis Writers Guild from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. CST on Saturday, April 5, 2025, for a free workshop with poet T.M. Pedroley on appreciating and writing poetry.

Our presenter will join us LIVE, in person for this FREE workshop. We will gather at The Lodge Des Peres, 1050 Des Peres Rd., St. Louis, MO, 63131 for the presentation, or you may attend the meeting online. To do so, follow the event link from the St. Louis Writers Guild website.

In this hands-on poetry workshop, poet T.M. Pedroley will discuss poetry’s functions and forms then guide attendees as they write their own poems. If you’ve ever wondered how to get started at poetry, this is the workshop for you! Bring that beautiful notebook gathering dust in a desk drawer (or your trusty laptop) and be prepared to amaze yourself. Questions welcomed and encouraged.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, T.M. Pedroley has been writing since grade school. An award-winning poet, she took third place at the 2015 All Write Now Conference. Ms. Pedroley has been published in several anthologies and her work appears in The Tin Lunchbox. She released her first poetry collection, Unleashing the Soul, in 2021, and has recently published the fourth book in the Adventures of Jumping Jack children’s series.

Ms. Pedroley loves children and holds a degree in Early Childhood Education.

She writes several blogs, including advice on dating, relationships, and kindness in the community. Most of her time is spent writing and teaching community teen poetry workshops, but she also enjoys dance, art, photography, and creating fun projects for her friends and family.
