Each class description includes a breakdown of what you can expect in terms of in-class activity, feedback, and homework (if any). 

Generative means you’ll be generating new writing, either in class or at home between classes.

Workshop means you’ll be sharing work to be read and critiqued by your instructor and classmates and that you will also be critiquing the work of your peers. 

Reading means you’ll be doing close reading of a work with an eye toward craft. 

Craft discussion means you’ll be looking at the tools writers use to do that thing they do so well and then trying it out yourself.

Class levels are designed for various stages of the writing journey. Simply self-select the level that sounds best for where you’re at. 

Introductory: This is your first creative writing workshop, first writing class since high school, or first foray into a new genre or form. You’re looking to try something new, kickstart your writing, and/or establish yourself in the fundamentals.

Intermediate: You have a strong understanding of writing fundamentals and are eager to deep dive into craft. You’re honing your writerly identity and voice through independent projects. In workshop, you look for constructive feedback and are ready to do writing and reading outside of class.

Advanced: You’ve written a significant body of work and have taken it through several stages of revision. You’re getting ready to publish or are in the early stage of publishing, and you’re interested in refining the skills that will take you to the next level in the literary industry.

All Levels: You are any of the above and are looking to play with new possibilities.

All classes are currently held on Zoom.

You’ll get your class information, including Zoom link if applicable, three days before the first day of class.

Up to a month before class begins, a refund for any amount paid can be given, less 10%. Refunds between a month and two weeks prior to the start of class will incur a 25% fee. No refunds are issued within two weeks of the start of class. Classes are competitive, and dropping out and requesting a refund last minute means a spot has been taken that can’t be filled. Please be mindful of this before agreeing to take an offered spot. Once the class starts, no refunds will be given.

We do not record classes. Recording classes promotes self-consciousness among the present attendees. We treat the class as much like an in-person class as possible.

We encourage students to only sign up for classes that fit with their schedule.   

Often, materials (such as in-class writing prompts) are posted after the class. You are welcome to reach out to another classmate or the instructor to see what you’ve missed.
