On-line Writing Workshops
We offer three different kinds of On-Line Distance writing classes, open to
any interested student, regardless of where you live. The goal of these classes
is to create simple, productive, low-tech, e-mail-based venues in which writers
might stay connected to their work and to one another. Not all of these classes
will offered in every semester, so check the current class flyer at the link
below, to see what is being offered this semester.
On-Line Distance Writing Workshop
This class is conducted via email. Monthly writing assignments are given and
students in the class create two first drafts per month, sending them out
to the other members of the class. Students give and receive written feedback
each month by filling out a simple, 5-question Feedback Quiz. The class ends
with a follow-up phone call with Max to discuss the work you did and talk
about what comes next.
On-Line Distance Bootcamp Class
This class is conducted via email. Students are sent one writing exercise every
day for 10 days. The goal is for each students to write 1000 first draft
words a day, building a daily practice and ending up with 10,000 words total.
Students are not required to send their daily work to their classmates, and
they do not give or receive daily feedback. However they do send their daily
writing to Max via email every night by 12:01. Max reads all the texts and
at the end of the 10 days students have a follow-up phone call with Max to
discuss the work.
On-Line 50/50 Class
This is the simplest and least expensive class we offer. The class is conducted
entirely via email. Students are sent one writing exercise via email every
day for 50 days. The goal is for each student to write one page of text a
day, in any genre. Students write on their own, at their own pace, and are
not required to send their work with Max or their classmates, or to give
or receive feedback. There is a class blog where students can share their
experiences and where Max will post ideas and strategies to keep you going.
Optional follow-up phone calls with Max are available once the class is over,
for an additional fee. This class is usually offered twice during the year.
Distance Content Editing and Private Coaching
For students who want to work one-on-one in developing a writing practice,
finishing a project or starting one, Max can set up private coaching sessions
to support you in moving forward. For folks who have a manuscript of body
of work, Max provides Content Editing and evaluation to see where you are
and what it will take to develop the work and reach your goals. Texts are
exchanged via email and then we schedule a series of phone calls to discuss
the work, the process and how to reach your individual goals as a writer.
As always, if this is the right class or opportunity for you, please contact
Max and we can create a payment plan that meets your needs.
