Welcome to my Summer and Fall 2024 class offerings.

Below you’ll find classes that are 3-Hour Seminar classes, 30 DAY CHALLENGE CLASSES, and MULTI-WEEK courses.

Some are for writing Science Fiction and Fantasy, but a few are aimed to stretch different writing muscles like: Body Image Art-making, Spiritual Memoir, Using Tarot for your writing, and even writing exercises to warm up for bigger projects.

I’ve divided these below into ONE-DAY 2HR classes, 30 Day Challenge classes, and Multi-Week courses. Some are marked “Coming Soon.”

These short classes, filled with tips, exercises and information can teach you something to bring into your writing practice.

Writing Flash Fiction as Monologues

How do we naturally tell stories? We kinda speak in monologues. Storytellers captivate us for a few minutes. It’s a powerful way to craft flash fiction. In this class, we will examine scripts, plays, memoirs, musicals, 1st person stories, and modern monologues so we can glean techniques that strengthen flash fiction with a strong voice that will carry your reader, and surprise them.
