The Rewrite Workhsops

Rewrite your story. Reclaim your power.

At some point, many of us wake up and realize we’ve been living by a story we didn’t fully choose.

It’s shaped by expectations. By fear. By old patterns and voices that no longer reflect who we are or who we’re becoming.

The Rewrite Workshops began with a simple idea:
What if we could slow down, listen in, and write a new chapter for ourselves?

Through guided one-night writing workshops, we create space for you to step away from the noise of daily life and return to yourself.
To put pen to page, without judgment or pressure.
To ask new questions, release old answers, and find clarity in their own words.

You don’t need to be a writer to join the workshops.
You just need a little curiosity, a little courage, and a desire to reconnect with your voice.

This is a space to reflect.
To release.
And to rewrite, one honest word at a time.

Come as you are. Leave with something new.

The Rewrite Workshops Story

When Ria DeMay took an intensive creative writing workshop, she expected to refine her fiction skills. What she didn’t expect was to uncover the deeper narratives shaping her own life—the limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and untold potential hiding beneath the surface. That realization sparked something bigger: a new kind of writing workshop, one designed not just to craft stories but to rewrite the ones we tell ourselves. At The Rewrite Workshops, we believe in the transformative power of personal storytelling. The workshops guide writers—of all levels—through the process of reshaping their narratives, finding their voices, and embracing the confidence to share their truth. Through expert-led exercises, supportive community connections, and meaningful self-reflection, we help you craft a story that empowers you. Whether you’re exploring your journey, shaping a memoir, or simply seeking a fresh perspective, The Rewrite Workshops will help you uncover, refine, and own the story only you can tell. Rewrite your story. Reclaim your voice.

Ria DeMay

Ria DeMay’s journey as a writer has been anything but conventional. She initially pursued Mass Communications and Journalism and served as a writing tutor before earning her law degree at the University of Buffalo. There, she served as a research fellow and an editor for the Women’s and Social Policy Law Journal. Over 16 years, she became a recognized leader in labor and employment law, policy, and advocacy—lending her voice to national media outlets, speaking at conferences, and serving on boards dedicated to education, equity, and survivor support for victims of abuse.

Through her writing and workshops, Ria empowers individuals to break free from limiting beliefs, find their authentic voice, and step into the stories they were meant to live.
