What’s Happening Fall 2019

Hi all,

A few things for you to consider as you move forward with your writing career.

Today my spring classes have opened.  The prices will go up to $595 per class in 2020, but if you register in 2019 you will be able to take them at the 1991 rates.  (My daughter Molly insists that 28 years is long enough to keep fees the same.) As always, the Saturday class includes a read of your screenplay with detailed notes.  Here are the dates.

Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm.  Feb. 22, 29, March 7, 14, 21, 28 at my home in north Wilsonville, Oregon.

The Master Class is for writers who have already taken the Saturday class.  That one meets ten Monday nights from 7 to 10 pm.  Every week we read an entire screenplay by one of you and workshop it in the room.  (We play all the parts.) Same fee.

My Writing the Waves cruise is filling up but two cabin spaces are still available.  (See the side bar.) . We have a fabulous new ship, a wonderful, smart and fun group of people and some colorful ports in the Canary Islands, Spain, France and Italy.  If you’ve thought that someday you would treat yourself to something like this, why not be wild and impulsive and jump in?

I am doing more book editing this fall.  If you need a book editor, I am available.  I have edited more than 30 books including novels, memoir and non-fiction.  I edit from the level of typos, punctuation and grammar up through structure, character development and theme.  My specialty is getting the emotional response you want from your readers.  Whether delight, suspense, grief, fear or inspiration.  Or to intensify reader’s interest in the subject of your non-fiction book.  My rate is $5/page standard book format.  I’m here if you need me.

Do good work.

Love and hugs,

Cynthia
