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. They explore the process of developing lively characters, mapping out a plot, describing realistic settings, adding subtext and layers of meaning, and penning captivating fiction.

Students master the qualities that make for spellbinding fiction and the techniques used by writers in crafting stories and imagining characters. 

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

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.

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 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.

Please note:
  • Credits are valid for one year and cannot be changed into refunds down the road.
  • Simply not attending class or notifying the instructor does not mean you have officially withdrawn.
  • Some exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis for medical emergencies with a doctor’s note.
  • Refunds take up to six weeks to process.
  • Please understand, we cannot issue a refund after classes have started, even if you miss your first class.
  • Similarly, we cannot offer you a credit one day before your second class or after that.
  • We understand that other obligations get in the way of attending class, but these policies allow us to get other interested writers into class early enough to have a good experience, and this allows us to offer our classes at a reasonable price.

  • Only those who pay the tuition in full can be guaranteed a place in class.
  • Class dates and times may be subject to change.
