Writing Heights Writers Association offers two monthly classes on craft, editing, marketing and more. Active and Sustaining members get these classes free, but they are also open to the public for a reasonable rate and are taught by knowledgable, experienced, and friendly instructors. Can’t make the class? No problem! When you register, you also get a recording of the class that you can access for up to a year.
This Month’s Classes:
Was your New Year’s goal to write or finish that novel you’ve had hidden away? Even by February, the dust of many resolutions have settled, and starting (or finishing) a novel is sometimes still the most insurmountable task on the goal list. In this class, a seasoned award-winning novelist will help you outline a simple, effective schedule to finish your work-in-progress within the year. This class will cover what drives us, how to maintain our creativity and passion for our work, how to fit our writing into even the tightest of schedules, and the basic structure of what we’re trying to create. You’ll be given sample schedules that can then be adapted to fit your life and your needs. Students will be encouraged to sign up for the monthly accountability meetings (whether or not they are members of Writing Heights) to check in with their progress throughout the year.
In this moderated panel, experienced editors will answer your questions about editing. Whether you want to know the difference between copy editing and proofreading, where to find a good editor, or why editing is important anyway, our panelists will offer their insights from cumulative decades in the publishing industry. Fill out the form during registration to submit your questions for consideration!
Interested in Teaching a Class or Workshop?
We’re a community based organization and believe that sharing information and knowledge helps us all to grow and learn. If you’re an author, editor, literary agent, professor, or just have a really cool specialty that you think would benefit authors and poets (crime scene investigation, ecologist, lawyer, screenwriter, visual artist or musician), feel free to send us a class proposal and we’ll market your class and pay you for your time!
