The Workshops begin in three weeks.
1. How big are these workshops?
Not big at all. Small, in fact. No more than five writers in each of the two Hangouts (afternoon and evening) per the three time zones.
That means when you sign up, you need to choose your time zone and your time of day. When the five slots in that combination are full, the class is closed.
2. Is there a lot of homework?
I don’t think so, but “a lot” is a relative term. There are 3 things you’ll be responsible for:
a. reading and responding on-line to my Written Lesson. This is very informal. It’s more of a back and forth conversation among all the workshop members
b. a short answer, thought-provoker that relates to the lesson
c. a formal piece of writing you do in response to the prompt given at that lesson. You will read this to the group during the Hangout.
3. Is there a schedule I can count on?
Yes. I post the Written Lesson on-line on Saturday of each week. Your first homework is due the following Monday. Your second homework is due on Wednesday. The Hangouts are on Thursday. There is a Syllabus that I will send to you after you sign up.
4. Are there any requirements as far as writing or publication experience?
No. The intimacy of the workshops allow writers of all levels of experience to participate fully.
5. I’m working on a specific project. Will I be able to work on that in the Workshop?
If it fits into the scheme of the Workshop, yes. Let’s talk about this before you sign up.
