Courses

Writing Courses

I’m prepared to offer a variety of writing courses to any group of five or more who come to me with a concrete proposal. These courses may be offered either online or in person. In the latter case, I would need to have my expenses paid and a venue provided. My rates for such courses are negotiable, depending on the number of students involved and the amount of preparation I would require. Please contact me to discuss providing a course.

Courses I have taught before, and which would not require much in the way of additional preparation, include: Getting Started with Writing, Building Up the Writer’s Toolkit, An Introduction to Memoir-Writing, An Introduction to Essay-Writing, and Writing about Work. I’m willing to entertain proposals for other courses, as well, but you should be aware that those other courses would likely require significant preparation time, which would mean that I would have to increase my fee.

Editing Courses

I’m prepared to offer two editing courses to any group of five or more who come to me with a concrete proposal. These two courses, both of which I have offered before, are: Editing Made Almost Painless (an introductory editing course) and Advanced Editing Boot Camp. As is the case with my writing courses, these editing courses can be offered either online or in person. In the latter case, I would need to have my expenses paid and a venue provided. Rates are negotiable, depending on the number of students involved and the amount of preparation I would require. Please contact me to discuss providing a course.

If you are a group of writers well-advanced on book-length projects, you might find either or both of these courses a useful investment—and perhaps a cost-effective alternative to paying for detailed edits down the road.
