Registration is filling fast at ACE (Adult and Community Education) offered in Collier County. This is my 10th year offering local workshops at Barron Collier High School and I'm delighted to finally offer much more than the standard General Creative Writing and Nonfiction Writing offered 10 years ago. Check out these offerings and sign up soon! (New offerings and pricing begin with Fall 2 session in October.) Don't forget that pre-registration is now required.

The class is broken down to cover all the stages but focus on the first two: the development & planning, and drafting. Considerations for both fiction and nonfiction projects are covered. Students will have time to share excerpts for feedback during class. (6 weeks, $79)
