You don’t have to write alone. We all need structure and inspiration to finish longer pieces.
This 6-week, completely async long-form writing course gives you exactly that and more: feedback, support and contact with other writers, all without scheduled classes. Write when it suits you best; connect with a unique, global writing community through chat, shared documents and email; and emerge with a polished, submission-ready draft.
Any creative project has stages: the messy beginning, the middle when things start taking shape, the final polishing at the end. Although the end-result is our own, the journey towards a finished draft is almost never a solo act. We write best when we’re in conversation with other writers, and when we have the structure to give and receive the right kind of feedback at each stage of our process. But not everyone can get away on writing retreats, and not every writer is ready to invest the time and money required to spend two or three months wholly focused on their writing projects. Write & Polish That Long Form Piece is our answer to this problem: a guided, flexible 6-week writing course that gives you the structure and community you need to take your writing to the finish line—all in 3-4 hours per week.
- Week 1: Daily writing towards your draft using prompts.
- Week 2: Select themes and create one draft.
- Week 3: Shape your draft.
- Week 4: Wait for feedback while doing creative research to get inspired and expand your story.
- Week 5: Intensive writing in your draft, incorporate changes and your creative research.
- Week 6: Wrap up your draft and get instructor feedback on the final piece.
Led by The Write Salon’s Instructor WILLOW MATA, Write & Polish that Long Form Piece draws from established writing teachings as well as human-centered design principles to create a structured creative journey with feedback and support.
All genres welcome.
