New: an extra Intensive Creative Writing course for the spring, Tuesday evenings, April 28 – June 16


Intensive Creative Writing
8 intense weeks of writing & critiquing
With everyone indoors, lots of people want to sign up for my online courses, so I’m offering this extra session of Intensive Creative Writing …
Tuesday evenings, 6:45 – 9:00 p.m.
April 28 – June 16 {and if the course fills up, we’ll extend it a week to June 23}
First readings emailed April 21
Conducted live online on the Zoom platform

Intensive Creative Writing isn't for beginners; it's for people who have been writing for a while or who have done a course or two before and are working on their own projects. Over the eight weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to submit four pieces of your writing for detailed feedback – including two longer pieces. 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 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 challenging course, but extremely rewarding.
This course will be held online. To participate, you'll need a computer connected to the Internet, with a microphone and, for preference, a camera. We'll plan to have a practice before the course proper starts.

Fee: $176.11 + 13% hst = $199
