In case you need a pro-active plan for the February blues, I’m teaching two online writing courses for Emily Carr University of Art + Design this spring.

Writing for Picture Books is an introduction to children’s literature. We’ll explore character, conflict, and language, with lots of imaginative word play and creative story building along the way.

Introductory Creative Writing includes fiction, memoir, poetry, and script writing. Through thought-provoking exercises, we’ll try our hands at storytelling through a variety of mediums.

Both classes are eight weeks long and entirely on-line. If you’ve always wanted to write, now’s the time!
