IT'S WRITING TIME! GENERATIVE & SOLIDARITY GROUP FOR ALL GENRES (Virtual, 8 Weeks)
IT’S WRITING TIME! GENERATIVE AND SOLIDARITY GROUP FOR ALL GENRES (Virtual)
WITH CAROLYN ZAIKOWSKI
8 SUNDAYS, 5/31-7/26 (no meeting on 6/21)
6-8PM ET
ONLINE VIA ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:
This group is for both beginner and established writers who are craving a low-stakes, supportive community space to just...be writers!
Each week, we'll spend time writing in class together, guided by versatile and optional prompts to fit students' different needs and genre interests, whether poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and essay, or all of the above. We’ll do some informal sharing and offer positive, encouraging feedback in small and large groups in the spirit of community, empowerment, and finding your own voice.
You can come to class with writing or projects you’re already working on, or you can come with a blank slate—no matter. If you're an aspiring or experienced writer looking for guided writing time, gentle accountability and solidarity from an instructor and fellow like-minded travelers, support around writing/life balance, and the opportunity to create work, come join us!
Note: This is not a formal work shopping class. While we will do some loose craft study to guide our writing, any at-home readings are optional.
CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS, AND OTHER POLICIES:
Zoom link and any related materials will be emailed to registrants by 2 days before the start of class.
Cancellations five days or more before the class begins will receive a full refund minus a $25 processing fee. For cancellations after that, there can be no refunds, as time is needed to fill cancelled spots. For similar reasons, there can also be no full or partial refunds for students who miss classes after the class has begun, or for students who have attended one or more classes but are dissatisfied with the class. In the rare case that I need to cancel a class, registered students will receive a full refund.
Please note: I reserve the right to use my expertise and discretion to remove students from class, without refund, who display behaviors and speech which are racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise disrespectful and non-compliant with class policies (to be discussed on the first day of class) regarding safe spaces and discrimination.
By registering for this class, you are acknowledging that you fully understand and consent to these policies.
NOTE ABOUT SLIDING SCALE
For the sake of community solidarity, I make every effort to create a reasonable and honor system-based sliding scale system, while also needing to honor my own financial situation. Please use discretion in deciding what price you can afford, keeping in mind that the financial aid price was designed for those who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend. If you decide this is the case for you, do feel free to use it with no questions asked! -Carolyn
