Chelsea Bieker and Kimberly King Parsons
Made by writers, for writers

Two novelists. One practice.

We're Chelsea Bieker and Kimberly King Parsons — bestselling, award-winning fiction writers with more than thirty years of combined teaching experience at Tin House, Columbia, Catapult, Center for Fiction, Pacific University, Hugo House, and beyond. We built The Fountain because traditional workshops address technique and miss the deeper work: dissolving the blocks that keep writers from the page.

The Fountain is more than another workshop, craft class, or accountability group — we help you access the stories your conscious mind can't reach.

The intensive felt like years of writing classes packed into 100 days.
Alex
Chelsea and Kim teach with humility, grace, experience, curiosity, and humor. It's unlike any class I've ever taken.
Rachel
Writing is so solitary, but The Fountain makes me feel more connected and less alone.
