Description

What you'll learn in this writing class:

This Creative Writing Weekend is designed for writers who want to learn the craft of exceptional storytelling in an intensive setting.

In this three-day workshop course, students gain a high level of training in the craft of writing by mastering rhythm, tempo, tone, and brevity.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Refund Policy

If you need to withdraw from a class, your options are:


All Classes (except One-Day Master Classes)


For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on another classes OR you can opt for a refund less a $25 administrative fee and your $25 registration fee ($50 total).


If you need to withdraw after your class has started (or one business day before it starts), you won’t receive a refund, but you are welcome to a credit less the price of Week 1 and your $25 registration fee, but we need to hear from you two business days or more before Week 2 meets for that to happen. After that point, no credits are available.

For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on another class OR you can opt for a refund less a $25 administrative fee and your $25 registration fee ($50 total).


If you withdraw two hours or more before it begins, you are welcome to a full credit toward another class of the same price. (You can only reschedule once.) Please call rather than email; leave a voicemail if there is no answer. No refunds are available. If you simply don’t show up and don’t notify us in advance, you forfeit your money.
