Full manuscripts or new projects may be worked on in these classes.The workshop focuses on the principles of craft that separate the wanna-be writer from the professional—things you will seldom learn in other venues. From organization to self-editing, youll learn what it takes to make your writing the very best it can be. The instructors emphasis is on helping each writer write to a level for professional publication, in any or several of the prose genres. Tuition for all eight-session workshops is US $325.00 or peso equivalent. Places in the workshops will be held only with advance payment in full. A maximum of six writers may be enrolled in each workshop, unless otherwise determined by the instructor. As these workshops are popular, early enrollment is suggested.
