The business of Writing workshops

---

Teaching writing shall be personal

All writing is personal. How could it be otherwise? You spend what is most precious—your life—doing it. Unlike most other activities, writing leaves a distinct and communicable trace of how one chooses to spend their time. 

Classes shall be small 

Workshops will be capped to ensure a quality experience and measurable deliverables at the end of the session. 

Criticism shall be honest and constructive

The goal of the courses is not necessarily to make you better writer, but a more successful one.  That might mean you need to put your words in a different order, but it might also mean that you need to think more carefully about the publishing industry and its trends and requirements.  In either case, revision will be a difficult--let’s be honest...it might be downright painful--but also a  deeply meaningful process.  Let’s do it together.  

Student time shall be a priority.

You live a busy life, and not just as a writer.   Maybe you want to move as quickly as possible from writing to publishing.  We get that.  Many of the best authors do.  We want to streamline the process of publishing your writing, without compromising quality.  

You shall work and write smarter.

More hours at the computer or writing desk is not always the key to writing success.  Let us help you think about your writing in a fresh and practical way, with an eye to publishing in popular venues and trade houses.
