Sign up for Writing Classes - The Writer's Workshop

Writing classes can help you put down what really happened with detail, deftness and precision. A good writing class provides the encouragement, skillful guidance, and sound, practical advice to master the craft of writing. Otherwise, writers can flounder for years, repeating mistakes over and over again, turning what should be a rewarding and enlightening activity into an exercise in frustration.

Experienced authors can benefit from the structure a writing class provides to perfect and extend their technique. The Writer’s Workshop offers a variety of writing courses and online writing tutorials to meet the needs of a wide range of writers. Let me know if you have questions about the right class for you. I look forward to hearing from you!

You can purchase all of the course texts through Elliott Bay Book Company You can purchase copies of my books there as well.

Yours,

Introduction to Poetry Writing

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth.

One false word, one extra word…

Writing a novel is a terrible experience.

…with luck and if you stated it purely enough, always.

Literature is nothing but carpentry.

The forms of things unknown and the the poet’s pen…

Get it down. Take chances.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word…

There are only two or three human stories.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you.

Pleasure in a good novel…

It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world.

Just follow your hero.
