Follow your wonder. Your pen will know the way.
Writing workshops to help you quiet the noise, clarify what matters, and discover the wisdom that emerges when you give yourself permission to write.
Welcome! I’m T. Dean Adams—a writer, teacher, editor, and the creator of Pen. Paper. Magic. and The Autumn Writing Studio. I believe writing is more than putting words on paper. It’s a way to listen more deeply, reconnect with yourself, and discover what matters most.
Since 1997, I’ve led community writing workshops where there’s no critiquing—only encouragement, curiosity, and the freedom to explore. Whether you’re picking up a pen for the first time or returning to a lifelong practice, you’ll find a welcoming place to write, reflect, and grow.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Faculty-in-Residence for the University of Texas’s N.E.W. Leadership Texas program. My writing has appeared in Austin Monthly, the Austin American-Statesman, Texas EMS Magazine, The State, skirt! magazine, and other publications. More than anything, I’m grateful for the thousands of people who have trusted me to write alongside them. I hope you’ll join us. Bring a pen, a notebook, and your curiosity.
Please email me to schedule private or group session, or for speaking engagement inquiries.
I’d love to connect on social, too!
