Online Writing Workshop Roundup
If you’d like to take a writing workshop this summer, here are some low-cost (under $30) options:
*************************
Cheryl St. John is offering a different class every month. Cost is around $25 per class. (Her blog still shows the info for the June class, but I expect she’ll update it when July arrives.)
A sample of what’s available:

- August – CONFLICT MAKES THE STORY
- September – CREATING A REAL FICTIONAL WORLD
- October – SETTING IS MORE THAN A BACKDROP
