Meredith Sue Willis is offering a four-session online creative writing class called Summer Stories during the month of July 2008 for writers of memoir and personal essay as well as short story and novel. The class is appropriate for beginning writers, but will also give ample stimulation to advanced writers who want to move forward with their projects. Students who have taken this class before will find new exercises included and, of course, new responses to your new work. There will be exercises and individual feedback on up to 1000 words per week. Sessions will be posted online and emailed on July 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2008, with homework due a week later.
To
enroll, send a note by email explaining why you think this would
be a good class for you to MeredithSueWillis@gmail.com.
If you are accepted, you will be sent the next step.
The first of four sessions goes online and is emailed on July 7, 2008. For information about how an online class operates, see online classes .
The teacher Meredith Sue Willis is the author of more than a dozen published books and is the creator of "Beginning Your Novel," "Making Your Novel Happen," and other courses at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
All
communication will be by email and online.
For the complete schedule, see below. The
class costs $200, payable in advance. The fee must be received
by July 3, 2008. This means you must apply, be accepted, and send your fee by US Postal Service so that it arrives by July 3, 2008. After you are accepted into the class, you will be e-mailed where to mail the check. Your canceled check is
your receipt, and you will receive an email confirming your place in
the class. For further inquiries, e-mail Meredith

The
small red print:
Enrollment
is extremely limited as the teacher is primarily a working writer. No
applications will be accepted after July 3, 2008. The
class will close earlier if it fills up. If the class closes, a notice will be posted here and at Http://www.meredithsuewillis.com. You are not enrolled and your place will not be held until
payment is received. There are no cash refunds.
