NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS WELCOME!

Hi writer friends! Some of you have taken my special six-week course for The Writers Studio, Online Writing About Childhood, or expressed an interest in it.

The class, which featured exercises based on the work of writers like Ray Bradbury, Sandra Cisneros, and Seamus Heaney has been so successful that I’ve created a followup course featuring all-new exercises.

The new class will feature exercises by V.S.Naipual, J.D. Salinger, Toni Morrison, and others.

This new class can be taken by those who’ve taken the first class, or by those who have never taken any Writers Studio class before. No prerequisite.

CLICK HERE to register. The class starts Saturday, July 22nd and will be conducted online, so you are welcome no matter where you are located.

Childhood from the perspective of an adult writer can seem like “another country,” a strange land where our powers, responsibilities and perceptions were vastly different. And yet it is the place we all come from. And while the lens through which we viewed the world as children may have seemed innocent and magical, our sensibilities were always vulnerable to the hard truths of encroaching adulthood.
