Course Objective:
Writers will learn strategies and techniques to improve their writing skills through creative writing prompts, interactive lessons, short writing pieces, and sharing in this workshop style approach.

Each session is unique and does NOT build on each other.  

New learners can join at ANY time!

The class structure is:

Learners will be 
-viewing our session objectives
-learning the class expectations
-introducing themselves to each other
-learning a new writing strategy or technique from me
- doing a timed writing using that technique (writers will have 10-15 minutes to write in a Google doc or on paper)
-sharing what they've written so far

After class:
Writers can finish their pieces and send them to me for feedback.

Class Cancellations due to Scheduling Conflicts:
If you have signed up your learner for my class and you do not cancel before class begins, I do not offer refunds. Since your learner is taking a seat another learner would have had during that time, please make sure to cancel classes before class begins. Outschool sends out emails to everyone when a class will be starting usually a 1/2 hour before it begins. 

If your learner does miss a class, there are Zoom recordings of all classes available in the classroom where the Zoom link is to the class. Learners can access the recording and get materials distributed from the messages there.
 
If your learner is on my schedule, and they do not appear in class, I will message you to let you know.
