8-week writing courses

I have several 8-week courses on offer for you.
Not only are the lessons informative and constructive,
but you will also meet friendly writers along the way. As I keep my groups small, we can do these classes at a safe distance from each other in a spacious room. We have kicked off so it's no longer possible to sign up. Please keep an eye out for the next ones in January 2021

Beginners Course

This course is perfect for starting writers.
In 8 weekly lessons of 2 hours each, we tackle subjects such as character building, dialogue, and how to strengthen your story. In a small group of like-minded people you will benefit from their feedback; where does your story become unclear or too long? Through this safe environment, you will develop your writing muscles and grow into a true storyteller, while meeting friendly creatives along the way. This course is on its way! Please, don’t feed the writers.

Intermediate

Have you already done a writing course in the past and want to boost your skills? Have you done my beginners course and want to continue? Then this is a perfect place for you. This course leads to two short stories and teaches you more about structure, plotting, and creative content. The feedback and support from the others is extremely beneficial and often students form little writing groups after. We are happily writing our way to October, will you join us next time?

Advanced

If you did my first two courses or you have a good amount of writing skills, this is your next step. The focus is on writing and less on theory. I believe learning to write is not linear and everyone has strong and weak points they can continue to develop. All you need is a framework of classes and a creative crew to stimulate you. Their feedback, input, and flaws serve as a huge catapult for your own creative development.
For this group, I make sure everyone is on the same page before signing up.

Can I cancel my registration?

Yes, you can cancel up to 30 days before the start of the course. If the course gets cancelled due to Covid19, you get a full refund. If the course gets cancelled halfway through, you will get half a refund or we will decide as a group how to proceed from there.

Are the courses in English?

Yes, but as many people aren’t Native English, we don’t put all our focus on grammar. Writing strong content is more important for now. I do advise using Grammarly for better spelling.

(A small fee is added by Eventbrite)
You have only secured a spot after paying

As I like to keep my classes small and personal, I take max. 6 students per course.

What do I need to bring?

A notebook and pen/pencil is all you need.
