more boldly and
write with mastery
Creative Growth School
«Word Catcher» is, of course, a school for authors. Authors of their lives, their intentions, and their texts. This is where people create writing that gets read to the end. Where they learn to communicate — with publishers, readers, and the world. And where things begin to take shape and come true.
Это курс, на котором вы научитесь делать яркие, запоминающиеся, полные ароматов зарисовки, которые можно опубликовать как есть или использовать в качестве ингредиентов для больших текстов. С ним вы научитесь писать в удовольствие, спонтанно, освоите новые писательские приемы, сможете монтировать текст как фильм, улучшите свое писательское зрение, нюх и слух.
Искусство писать — это искусство редактировать. Это курс для тех, кто хочет стать автором, которого цитируют, получать "да!" от издательств, писать уверенно и без блокировок, а также освоить профессию редактора и зарабатывать на редактуре чужих произведений. 7 месяцев захватывающего обучения — и путь от черновика к блестящему тексту станет понятным и приятным.
4 мастер-класса по 2 часа — сбалансированный коктейль теории и практики. Подойдет тем, кто хочет еще больше наслаждаться текстами мастеров слова, видя и понимая, в чем их виртуозность; писать образнее, ярче, неожиданней и ритмичней; зарабатывать текстами больше, чем другие; создавать тексты, которые растащат на цитаты.

Adler
My favorite teacher of the past 25 years! We worked for a long time: starting with blog articles and short expert stories, moving on to published pieces in magazines, and finally making the decision to write a book. From early texts full of clichés to original metaphors, longer forms, and a wide range of structures. Now I am a bestselling author. The path to this was long, but beautiful.

Writers Retreats
Retreats with Ekaterina Hoarau are a space for grown-ups to rest — combining relaxation, deep focus, and creative growth. They are open both to experienced writers and to those just beginning their writing journey.
It is a time and place to explore and express your creative vision. To nourish your writing practice. It is a focused experience of working on your project, with creative exercises, professional and psychological support from Ekaterina Hoarau and fellow participants — and, just as importantly, connection with people who are also imagining and bringing things into being.
You’re welcome to join an upcoming retreat, curated and organised by Ekaterina Hoarau and her partners. You can also invite her to your own retreat, where she will lead the educational and creative programme around one or several themes.
