Classes and Workshops

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:

Submitting your work to literary magazines is one way to connect with readers and propel your writing career forward, but many writers don’t understand what goes on behind the submission curtain. In this one-hour class we’ll discuss insights from literary magazine editors: what makes submissions shine, where your best chance at publication lies, and how to use the submission process to make your writing even stronger.

Have any old essays, poems, or short stories lying around, collecting dust? I sure do! Don’t throw them away. Cannibalize them! Compost them! Use them to create new hybrid or original work. Just like a garden, old scraps can nourish new growth. We’ll explore experimental forms like Collage Essays and Cento poems, as well as Micro- and Flash Fiction as containers for our transformed treasures.

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!
