On-line Writing Workshops

On-line distance writing workshops are offered to any interested student, regardless of where you live. The goal of these workshops is to create a simple, productive, low-tech, e-mail-based venue in which writers might stay connected to their work and to one another. If you have a computer, stable Internet connection and you are comfortable working on email, then the technical aspects of the class should be easy for you to manage. There are three types of on-line classes, On-line Writing Workshops, On-line Bootcamp classes and On-line 50/50 classes.

On-line Writing Workshops: In this 3-month on-line class students will receive monthly writing prompts and they will be required to write at least two texts per month. Using e-mail and a simple Listserv, students will send their work to one another and receive specific, concise feedback from Max and each member in the class. Tuition: $460

On-line Bootcamp Classes: This 10-day on-line writing “Bootcamp” is an immersive experience of being a writer. Students will be receive writing prompts everyday via email. Each student will generate at least 1,000 typed words (or 2 handwritten pages) each day for 10 days, and email their daily work to Max by 12:01 each night. He will read the work daily and schedule a phone session with each student at the end of the class to discuss the work in depth (see flyer). This class is usually offered twice a year in February and July. Tuition: $190

On-line 50/50 Classes: This 50-day on-line class is easy, productive and wildly inexpensive. Students will receive one writing exercise via email each day and will write at least one first-draft page of text daily, either on the computer or by hand. Students are not required to send their work to the instructor or to their classmates. There will be a blog site for the class listing on-going advice on how to set up a daily writing practice and how to read, evaluate and move your work forward. An investment of a single dollar a day, combined with your willingness to write, could bring you 50 pages of text by the end of the session. Tuition: $50
