Stanford Online Writing Courses — The Winter Lineup

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.
