Openings available in our online novel-writing class!

Hi folks,

We’re going to extend the beginning of the next session of our online novel-writing class to next Sunday, June 2. I had a really bad attack of the stomach flu last week, ending up very dehydrated and weak and it’s taken a bit more time than I would have thought it would to recover. I’m getting better, but still need a few days to get back closer to normal. So…

This will also allow those who are contemplating joining us a few extra days to do so.

For details, just read the blog post preceding this one which lays out everything you need to know about class. Basics are the cost of becoming a full class member for our ten-week session is $400. We also have another entrance into class as an auditor, where you sit in class with all of us—see everything we’re doing—but just like an auditorship in an on-ground college course, you don’t actively participate, and the fee for that is only $50. Believe me, that’s a bargain. I’ve had former auditors tell me things like they learned more about novel writing just by watching the class for ten weeks than they did in the entirety of their college experience or even their MFA experience. Plus, it’s the first place we go to when we need to fill vacancies—auditors always get the first shot at joining the class.

It’s very easy to join us. Just email me at butchedgerton@comcast.net and let me know you’re interested and if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. And, it doesn’t matter where you live—our students come to us from all over the world—from Europe, Asia, the U.S. and just about every country you can imagine. Time zones don’t matter.

Give me a shout!

Blue skies,

Les

Two of the many novelists who wrote their first books in our class--Maegan Beaumont and Linda Thompson. Both now superstars!

We leave politics at the door--all we're concerned with is doing everything we can to help get your novel published and published well.
