This Course is an Ongoing Class so feel free to jump in and join us whenever! 

Each week of our Creative Writing Workshop students will learn both a new Creative-Writing style coupled
with a new literary device. This course is designed to be the balance between expanding on individual creativity and receiving actual academic instruction. 
Taught by a Published Author and award-winning creative-writer- you will also get a unique class perspective. 

Students will receive a new "weekly challenge/creative-writing assignment" each session based upon the lesson. Students will also receive individual constructive feedback about their writing projects.
