Thank you for your interest in "Writing Intensives 2024: Fiction Writing!" 

We will meet on the second Saturday of every month from January to June in the classroom at St. John's Episcopal Church. Teens and adults, all experience levels are welcome. The course fee is $200 and will be collected at the first workshop January 13. 

Registration will open November 1 at 8:00am. Seating is limited to 18 (first-come) participants. Each participant will submit a 10-20 page story or excerpt for workshop, either new work or part of a work-in-progress. The accomplished workshop leaders will lead a high level critique of each submitted piece. By random drawing, participants will be assigned a date to submit work, and some participants will be asked to submit their work in December so we have time to give it a proper reading before the January workshop.
