Guided by an experienced instructor who fosters a supportive atmosphere of productivity and fun, the workshop-style format allows you to share your work and get constructive feedback to make you a better writer.

The workshop-style format of the program allows you to share your work and encourages discussions of writing technique and craft, including voice, character, tone, plot, and point of view.
