For these courses, I start working out the schedule for when participants are due
to bring in a piece of their writing three weeks before the first class, so for
the winter courses, please try to sign up before the new year! In any
case, these courses fill up, so enroll early to avoid disappointment. ~ Brian
The Next Step in Creative Writing
10 weeks of creative growth
Wednesday evenings, 6:45 –
9:00 p.m.
Jan 20 – March 30 (no class March 16)
The Next Step in Creative Writing
will challenge you to take a step up in your
writing. Over the ten weeks of classes, you’ll
be asked to bring in five pieces of your writing for detailed feedback. All
your pieces may be from the same work, such as a novel in progress, or they may
be stand alone pieces. You bring whatever you want to work on.
Besides critiquing pieces, the instructor will give
short lectures at the start of class, addressing the needs of the group, and in
addition to learning how to critique your own work and receiving constructive
suggestions about your writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come
from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and
how they write and re-write. This is a supportive group and a rewarding class.
