Brian's
schedule has something for everyone; from beginner to advanced
writers, and everyone in
between. The
"Welcome to Creative Writing" and
"Writing Your Life" courses
are a great place
to start. If
you have your own writing project in progress, such as short stories, memoirs,
or a novel, you'll
benefit from
a "Next
Step in Creative Writing" course.
More experienced writers will want an
"Intensive Creative
Writing" course to work
on their writing projects and hone their skills.
One-day workshops that
address things such as How to Build Your Story and How
to Get
Published are offered on
Saturdays or Sundays. A great way to spend a day with people who
share a passion
for words.
See you at a course or workshop soon!
