“I’m a published author!” If you’re not already, that’s what you’ll say at the end of this course. All participants are invited to share their best writing projects in an anthology that will be printed as a book. Classes meet for 45 minutes, with a 30-minute interactive work time following. If lingering for social time, networking and potential collaborations afterward, plan on about two hours of time investment to get the most out of your creative writing class experience.
$25 per class, 12-week course that will repeat if you want to sign up again. Each session is approximately 60 minutes of instruction and interactive painting followed by 30 minutes of optional social/project time, for a total of 90 minutes.
You will need: a laptop, tablet, or other digital device if you want to type and share your writing, but you can always bring a paper notebook and pen if you prefer to handwrite your projects. Handwritten projects must be typed up and shared electronically later for inclusion in the class book. However, if you opt out of the book project you can elect not to digitize your writing.
TIPS: If you don’t already know what a genre is, or what your favorite genres to read are, you’re encouraged to look into that ahead of your class start date. You will be much more excited and interested in your work if you write in the style that you like. It’s possible that you like to read in a genre that you don’t enjoy writing in, or vice versa. That’s good information to have also. While some writing assignments will push you out of your comfort zone into something new, other class projects will allow you to choose the style of writing that you prefer. The more you know about yourself, the better. But, if you have trouble finding your niche, we can help you with that.
Note: all writing must be family-friendly
Class types allowed: Adult (teens by request), Family (at least one adult participating and all children must be age 12 or older), or Private Group (must have at least 10 people in your group to qualify). Sorry, no Child/Youth class option for this class.
Note: We do not provide childcare. For the safety and courtesy of the other participants please do not bring young children with you to this class (we do have other classes that include children). Thank you for your understanding.
Register today! We have a 2-step process for registration:
1. Provide us with your contact info and your preferred class days/times. You will be asked your preference in general, in the drop-down part of the registration form that gives you morning/afternoon/evening as choices, but if you have specific preferences (or have days/times that will NOT work for you), you can tell us about your schedule conflicts and open days in the box on the form that asks if you have any questions or concerns. Alternatively, you can simply e-mail us directly with your requests: contact@nataliesgatheringplace.com, call us at (912) 210-2888, or drop by Natalie’s Gathering Place in person and set something up at the reception desk.
2. We’ll contact you with a proposed day/time for your class to meet, after matching you with others who have the same scheduling preference as you. If you have requested a Private Group, we don’t need to match you with others, so you’ll hear from us quickly with a weekly day/time for you to meet. There is no extra charge for a private group, but you must have at least 10 people in your group to qualify.
Your registration won’t be confirmed until you’re happy with the day/time offered to you. No deposit necessary. No cancellation fees, only a good faith effort to honor your commitment to attend. You may pay-as-you-go, or pre-pay for your group or individual registration. Don’t forget, members get a 10% discount on classes, so do mention your GOLD, Silver, or Bronze membership when you pay.
We look forward to writing with you at Natalie’s Gathering Place!
