Writing Workshop Frequently Asked Questions
FrequentlyAsked Questions:
How do I register? Can I register in the store?
Each workshop will have its own online registration link; see the page of the workshop you're interested in. You can either pay online when you register, or you can select "check" as your payment type and then pay in the store. You are welcome to register in the store as well, but we do need an email address. When you register you'll be asked for your contact info as well as a few questions about your goals and background
How do I know if I'm registered?
You will receive a confirmation email. If you have paid for your registration and provided your information but have not received an email, please call the store.
Are there any prerequisites? What are the requirements?
The chief requirements for all the workshops are an interest in writing, a dedication to the course, the maturity to approach the readings, and the willingness to contribute to the course. Some courses also have age restrictions; see the individual workshop descriptions for more information. There is no prerequisite for this course, and previous writing or publishing experience may be helpful but is certainly not required.
How much does the course cost? Are there any other costs besides the registration?
Tuition depends on the course, and generally includes all required materials. Any additional costs will be noted on individual workshop pages.
How much homework is there? What kind of time commitment does it require?
The homework is minimal, but because of the intensive nature we ask that all participants be able to attend every session.
Will I get school credit for this course?
At this time, workshops are not offered for credit, however participants will receive a certificate of completion and a detailed syllabus and course description to document their work. It will be appropriate to put on a resume or application.
Who are the authors?
A list of the authors participating and the dates of their appearances will generally be given to course participants at the first session. Past authors have included Ken Scholes, Susan Blackaby, Emily Whitman and publisher Katie Thiel.
