Upcoming Writing Classes

carolbaldwin

I’m pleased to announce three writing classes beginning in March; one at the Bobby Pearse Community Center in Greenville, and two at the Fine Arts Center of Easley. 



GREENVILLE, SC


Fiction 101 is geared towards the
serious adult or young adult who has dreamed of writing fiction but didn’t have
the tools to pursue that goal. Each class will include a short lecture, writing
activities, feedback, and discussion. In a fun, informal manner I provide a blend of information and hands-on learning experiences. Students will leave excited to work on their story.
The course will meet at the  community center for six weeks from 1- 4
PM. Class begins on March 3, skips March 31 because of Easter break and ends on
April 14. Each class is $45.00 for City of Greenville residents and $50.00 for non-City
residents. If you sign up for the entire course, you will receive one free
class. City of Greenville residents: $225.00; non-City: $250.00.  Registration caps at 15 so hurry and sign up here (under “Adult” programming).

Fiction
Genre Writing for Kids
Do
your kids dream up stories about space aliens or unicorns conquering the world?
Do they enjoy mysteries and wonder how to write one? Does the past capture
their imagination and they create stories about lords and ladies? Or, do they prefer
sports fiction and want to create a dream team of their own?

If
these scenarios describe your kids, then they will love my genre
writing class in which they create a mini-story in each genre. Although
emphasis is on creative writing, students will learn skills that they can apply
to expository writing.
