I have been teaching this course a long time, almost 20 years. It was, and still is, my favorite course to teach. And, because of a lot of pandemic chaotic stuff and fixing my 1939 cottage, I am only teaching it ONCE in 2021. (Promise I’ll be back early 2022)
What happens during the course? YOU happen.
Don’t ask me to explain why I am a better teacher of nonfiction than I am a teacher of fiction. I know, I’m a fiction writer. Maybe I’m too close to the process, I’m not as good as explaining how it happens for me. Nonfiction, though, is a whole other story.
Trust me. I have kept this course as streamlined as possible to allow plenty of time for discussion and interaction with each student.
My hope is to get everyone to the happy place where they see writing as a verdant field of dreams.
There is one text, a classic.
There are my “lectures,” which are much less classic but okay, they’re useful.
There are THE WRITING EXERCISES EACH WEEK which will fill you with so much tension and joy, you can’t even explain it. Because that’s how writing, the act of sitting down and writing, actually feels (If standing on your head writing works for you, hey . . . )
Registration is open NOW. Class begins May 5 and ends June 15.
Since this class is ON-LINE, you can take it from anywhere in the world. I usually have, in one class, students from at least three continents: North America, South America, Asia, and the UK and Europe.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.
