Writing Classes
Italian Poetic Forms
This class will focus on teaching meter and rhyme through looking at the ottava rima, terza rima, villanelle, and terzanelle forms. We'll look at the Italian origin of most of these forms, the place of these forms in the history of English poetry, and write these forms. Students can take this course without a prerequisite, though having taken Rhyme and Meter in Poetry or one of the courses in the French Poetic Forms would be helpful.
Class Begins: May 23rd
Scriptwriting
Every wonder what professional playwrights go through to create a script? Learn the agony and ecstasy of it all from a staged and award-winning playwright. We'll discuss the formatting of scripts, how to turn a short story into a script, and developing character and plot through dialogue.
Class Begins: June 3rd
Shorter Poetic Forms
In this course, we'll focus on brevity--how to say a lot in a little. We'll take away the mystery from haiku, senryu, tanka, and cinquains and learn how to write and enjoy them painlessly.
Class Begins: June 3rd
Rhyme and Meter in Poetry
If you are interested in writing metered, rhyming poetry that sounds natural and engages your reader, this class will provide all the basics. You will also learn to use several poetic devices such as metaphors and similes. Assignments will give you hands on experience with composing your own poetry in a step by step process, and you will receive personalized help along the way. You will also have the chance to discuss this process with the instructor and other students in group chats.
Class Begins: June 18th
Learn with the guidance of an instructor.
Four week classes are only $99.00
