Just Write class taught by Karen Paul Holmes

Important message to my writing students and fellow writers, 

Many of you have asked me about writing classes, when am I going to teach again and can I suggest a class. It is not likely that I will ever teach again although I want that more than anything. I still work with writers privately. The good news here is that I am suggesting an excellent week long writing class, at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, JUST WRITE, to be taught by 



Karen Paul Holmes at the John C. Campbell Folk School. If you live in one of the surrounding counties, you can get the class at half price. One-on-one coaching is her speciality. The focus of this class is YOU, your ideas and time for you to actually get some writing done, complete the project you want to finish, or start the new project you have been putting off. The class begins Sunday May 3, 2015. Register now. Call for more info. 1 800 Folkschool, (828) 837 2775 or 365 5724

Here is the class description:

Just Write
A prompt a day will keep you writing away…or bring your own ideas and finally have time to write what you've been itching to write. We'll dig into a magic bag of inspiration including nature walks, music, and favorite poems or passages by favorite writers. Self-editing tips and one-on-one coaching will help make your pieces stronger. Ideal for poetry, memoir, or short-fiction writers of all levels.

Hugs and happy spring,
Karen
