Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this fiction class:

The art of writing begins with reading critically. This class teaches the tools to appreciate great literary works and learn from the approach of the writers. Techniques include interpreting fiction, recognizing underlying themes, and decoding allegory. Through readings, writing exercises, and class discussions, we examine works by such authors as Anton Chekhov, Ernest Hemingway, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kate Chopin, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, E. L. Doctorow, Chinua Achebe, Yusuf Idris, and George Orwell, among others. Students will write and discuss their analysis of three literary masterpieces.

Refund Policy

If you need to withdraw from a class, your options are:


All Classes (except One-Day Master Classes)


For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on another classes OR you can opt for a refund less a $25 administrative fee and your $25 registration fee ($50 total).


If you need to withdraw after your class has started (or one business day before it starts), you won’t receive a refund, but you are welcome to a credit less the price of Week 1 and your $25 registration fee, but we need to hear from you two business days or more before Week 2 meets for that to happen. After that point, no credits are available.


One-day Master Classes


For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on another class OR you can opt for a refund less a $25 administrative fee and your $25 registration fee ($50 total).


If you withdraw two hours or more before it begins, you are welcome to a full credit toward another class of the same price. (You can only reschedule once.) Please call rather than email; leave a voicemail if there is no answer. No refunds are available. If you simply don’t show up and don’t notify us in advance, you forfeit your money.

Please note:

  • Credits are valid for one year and cannot be changed into refunds down the road.

  • Please understand, we cannot issue a refund after classes have started, even if you miss your first class.
  • Similarly, we cannot offer you a credit one day before your second class or after that.
  • We understand that other obligations get in the way of attending class, but these policies allow us to get other interested writers into class early enough to have a good experience, and this allows us to offer our classes at a reasonable price.

  • Only those who pay the tuition in full can be guaranteed a place in class.
  • Class dates and times may be subject to change.
