Find Ways to Tell Your Story
I teach classes at The Writers Studio, which is based in New York City, but welcomes online students from around the globe.
The Writers Studio focuses on craft. Our Level 1 classes let you try out a variety of narrative techniques by reading accomplished writers, writing weekly exercises, and learning to give and receive critiques.
Our students are brand-new writers and published authors. Classes are welcoming and fun, but also serious about the craft of writing. Join us!
