FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS
Kathryn taught me how to get out of my own way in this enlightening six week series of workshops. Each three hour session flew by. This course is a wonderful combination of "How to Write" and "How to Survive being a Writer". As a new writer, I appreciated Kathryn's straightforward and practical yet poetic approach to the material. An industry expert, she taught me things I didn't even know I needed to know. The group was kind, nurturing and offered very constructive feedback. This workshop left me energized and inspired to continue to write and submit work.

From the Blog
This course got me writing and finishing fiction again after more than a decade away from it. Kathryn creates a supportive environment for effective critique aimed at improving all aspects of writing short fiction, and her extensive experience of the writing and publishing world is invaluable.
