Advanced Writing Workshops
Our classes feature limited enrollment with close individual attention
to each participant's work. We offer workshops several times a year
in San Francisco and major cities around the country. If you saw
an ad or received a flyer for a class not listed below, it means
the class has filled. The classes often fill quickly, well before
the application deadlines, so if you're interested in a class, we
encourage you to contact us promptly.

A 4-Day Intensive Workshops
for Short Story Writers, Novelists, and
Authors of Creative Nonfiction
with Tom Jenks
The class will meet every day for four days, with a morning workshop and an afternoon seminar focused on craft. For the
seminar, there will be reading assignments and study of works by well known writers. Each participant will have one
manuscript workshopped in class and a second manuscript reviewed for an individual conference with Tom. We will study
storytelling and the formal elements of fiction, including voice, point of view, characterization, imagery, plot, and theme.
Attention will also be given to scene building, sentence making, and the dramatic movement of descriptive writing. The
program is very similar to the six-day intensive offered in San Francisco, though limited to fewer participants and using a
slightly abbreviated curriculum. The same high level of individual attention will be given in the 4-day classes as in the
popular 6-day intensives in San Francisco.
Enrollment limited to 12 participants.

6-Day Intensive Workshops
for Short Story Writers, Novelists, and
Authors of Creative Nonfiction
with Tom Jenks and Carol Edgarian
The class will meet every day for six days, with a morning workshop and an afternoon seminar focused on craft. For the
seminar, there will be reading assignments and study of works by well-known writers as well as daily writing exercises.
These exercises will be directly drawn from your own work and related to the aspects of craft under discussion each day
in the seminar. Each participant will have one manuscript workshopped in class during the week and a second manuscript
reviewed for an individual conference with Tom or Carol. Throughout the week we will give specific, daily focus to each
writer's work. We will study storytelling and the formal elements of fiction, including voice, point of view,
characterization, imagery, plot, and theme. Attention will also be given to scene building, sentence making, and the
dramatic movement of descriptive writing.
Enrollment limited to 20 participants.
Application deadline: TBA
