Writing Workshops
Led by
Robert Mayer
Author of 15 books
Continuing -- on Tuesday, January 10th, 2017-- our seventh year of teaching, encouraging, critiquing.
Both novices and more experienced writers are welcome. Sorry, no poetry or screenplays. Nine published books have emerged from these workshops.
Eight-week workshops meet one afternoon each week for three hours (Tuesdays.) You write at home, we read and critique your prose when you are ready.
Usually no more than five members in a group.
The workshops are held in a studio on San Mateo, near Chocolate Maven. The fee for the 24 hours of class is $325 plus tax, payable at the first session. Lots of parking.
