Online Writing Classes with some top writers


A few weeks ago, I received this notice from The Writers' Workshop in Asheville, NC. Now we can all benefit from these classes because
they are online. You don't have to drive to Asheville or stay overnight.

THE WRITERS' WORKSHOP
387 Beaucatcher Road
Asheville, NC 28805

                                             
 WRITING CLASSES ON-LINE!!

JUNE 27:  FICTION CLASS with Karen Ackerson
The class will learn the essentials of a good story or novel. Character and conflict are key elements that will be discussed, including creating a sense of place, dialogue, and enhancing one's writing style. Students may bring up to five pages to the class for review. Ackerson has taught fiction writing for over 25 years. As Senior Editor at The Renbourne Editorial Agency, she has edited over 500 novels and memoirs.


JULY 11:  WRITE YOUR LIFE with Richard Krawiec
        In this supportive writing-intensive class, participants will learn how to draw on the "material" of their lives to write and revise memoirs, stories, or plays. Elements covered include time compression and expansion, theme, recognizing your purpose, and developing your piece professionally. 
Krawiec is the founder of Jacar Press, and the author of numerous books such as "Breakdown: A Father's Story", "Faith in What?", and "Time Sharing". His work is published in numerous journals including Shenandoah, Florida Review, and N.C. Literary Review.


JULY 25:  SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP with Nathan Ross Freeman
 The class will learn all aspects of writing the screenplay, including formatting, characterization, sequence structures, and how to adapt any genre to a screenplay. Freeman’s credits include the feature films Gem and Mr. Bones, the official selection of major film festivals; and Authoring Action, awarded 2010 Best Documentary in the U.K.  He has taught at UNC-C and Salem College.

AUGUST 8:  HOW TO POLISH YOUR OWN WORK with Karen Ackerson
Writers of fiction and non-fiction books and stories will learn how to revise and polish their works before submitting to an agent or publisher. Techniques will be taught on how to grab the reader's interest by eliminating unnecessary details, building tension, and fine-tuning dialogue and descriptions. Participants may bring five pages (double-spaced) to the class for discussion. Ackerson is Senior Editor at The Renbourne Editorial Agency (www.renbourne.com), and has edited hundreds of novels, memoirs and creative non-fiction stories.
