Instructor: Jenny Bitner
You’ve started something — a story, a memoir, a novel, a strange experiment — and it’s asking for more of your attention. The beginning is always exciting, but staying with the manuscript is where the real dedication comes in. Designed for writers who want to keep working on an ongoing project in a supportive, structured space, this class will offer you time and accountability to return to the page, go deeper, and see where your writing wants to go next. In-class feedback, tailored craft assignments, and a one-on-one meeting with me to discuss your project will enable you to finish this course with new pages, insights on point of view, style, and characterization, and re-energized focus and clarity.
Asynchronous learning materials for this class will be available online (via the Wet Inkplatform). Scheduled class sessions will take place via Zoom. Registered students, please contact the instructor directly for Zoom details. Instructor contact details can be found in the order confirmation email.
