Workshop Description

 

A pay-per-class option for writers looking to do some writing exercises, get sketch writing tips, connect with other writers and get feedback on their sketches. Writers submit sketches the day before each class, hear their sketches read aloud, and receive feedback from John and their fellow classmates the next day. The class also features in-class writing exercises to discuss and review. Students may drop-in whenever they have new material or just want to hang with writers.
