Why take a 4-8 week workshop?

When we learn new skills, we need time to assimilate the knowledge, to let it seep into and enhance our writing.

Workshops are an opportunity to focus on a subject over a longer period of time. During that time you will be able to learn more about a genre and develop your craft through in-class writing and submit work for feedback from the instructor and fellow participants. 

We'd love to hear your suggestions for workshops you'd like to see on offer. We'll try to track down a qualified instructor to make it happen.
