In the Writing with… series of online creative writing classes, I have walked fellow writers through some of my favorite books in order to learn how we can apply those writers’ methods and techniques to our own writing. In Writing with Feechies, I will walk you through my own novel, The Bark of the Bog Owl. Besides discussing my methods and techniques, I will provide an insider’s view of the lessons I learned while writing my first novel.
Writing with Feechies includes six 90-minute live lectures* via Zoom, as well as a dedicated online forum for discussion and writing exercises.
*Recordings of the lectures will also be available for learners who can’t attend the live lectures.
Topics to be covered include:
Date and Time:
Tuesday afternoons, October 13 to November 17, 2020 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Central
Cost: $69
Intended Audience:
Adult, High School, Middle School*
*There are two “cohorts” of Writing with Feechies–one for adults (college-age and up), and one for high-school and middle-school students. The course content is the same for either cohort, but the two cohorts are separate in the discussion forums. Adults will be interacting with adults, and students will be interacting with students.
Please register for the appropriate cohort.

Online Discussion: I will post several discussion questions each week. Hopefully they will lead to fruitful discussion in which you can participate as time allows.
