Nine Weeks of Studying Advanced Setting Craft Techniques

Advanced Craft Classes in general...

The goal in nine weeks is learn about an area of the craft of fiction writing in depth.

There will be eight assignments, one each week for the first eight weeks that will help you learn.

Dean and Kris have put these classes together. They will not be easy, but they will be worthwhile for your writing.

You can get the ones that interest you or that you think you need help on, or you can buy the entire year of 2023 or of 2024 or of 2025 for a discount and take them all.
