September 2020 workshops are about to begin!
RENAISSANCE ACADEMY ONLINE CLASSES
These September classes are the last of the "summer" catalog. (The Fall catalogue is slated for October.) I'll also share news of these and others during the monthly "Writers Happy Hour"/Writers Salon on Fridays via Zoom (details in the latest WIP Tips newsletter) and at LisaWrobleWriting on Facebook.
