Registration is open now for ACE (Adult & Community Education) classes. The writing workshops I'm offering during Fall 1 session are all 6-week classes on either Tuesdays (beginning September 9) or Thursdays (beginning September 11) and held at Barron Collier HS on Cougar Drive in Naples. A NEW policy for the school district this year is a higher minimum student count for the classes to "go" so please register early. Visit http://collieradulted.augusoft.net/ to register or click each link below. 

Fall 1 writing courses:
TUESDAYS (3:30-5:30)
Focus on Your Book Project--Sept 9, 16, 23, 30, Oct 7, 14
Have you often thought of writing a book? Stop thinking and get started. This course will focus on the process of drafting both fiction and nonfiction books and provide exercises to help you begin, including planning, 3-part structure, chaptering and organizing. The importance of characterization and subplot will be covered for fiction projects along with basic fiction elements such as dialogue, description, and pacing. For nonfiction, considerations for front and back matter, envisioning the layout, and details pertinent to nonfiction will also be covered. Students will have time during each session to share excerpts of their works-in-progress for feedback. All writing levels encouraged. ($79) Click to register.
