A quick fyi: If you made a New Year’s resolution to become a serious writer, then you might be interested in these online writing courses offered by Stanford Continuing Studies (which, caveat emptor, I help oversee) and Stanford’s Creative Writing Program. These online courses give beginning and advanced writers, no matter where they live, the chance to refine their craft with gifted writing instructors. Classes start next week. Unfortunately some are already full … and they are not free. For more information, click here, or separately check out the FAQ. And, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, feel free to look through the courses taking place on the Stanford campus.
