We're thrilled to announce an exciting array of classes and workshops this fall--9 in total--that feature an exceptional range of writers. General registration for the courses opens Tuesday, 8/29 at 10am. The nine courses on offer this season include an exciting mix of writing-intensive generative poetry studios, lively workshops, and rigorous writing seminars. Here is a direct link to register.
Four full financial aid awards will be offered to cover the tuition cost of a course offered. The awards are valued anywhere from $100 to $120, according to recipient interest. Application is simple, and any community member is eligible to apply for need-based aid if they can attest to personal financial need. Selection is by lottery. The application deadline for financial aid is set for August 22nd, 5pm. So please spread the word to working writers for whom tuition would otherwise be a prohibitive financial strain. Learn more and apply here.

Be in touch if we can be of any help.
See you in class!
