Classes

Update: I will be teaching a workshop, “Writing the Memoir,” at the National League of American Pen Women Honolulu branch’s Biennial Writers Conference on April 9, 2010, in Honolulu, Hawaii. For more information, visit their website at www.nlapwhonolulu.org or call Carol Egan at (808) 254-3271.

I currently have no plans to teach for 2010-2011. Occasionally a class may be added at the last minute or I’ll teach at a conference or workshop. Please check back or subscribe to my newsletter if you’d like to be notified of upcoming classes.

I am still offering one-on-one consults as my schedule allows [update: as of 12/10/09 I am no longer accepting new consults. to be added to the waiting list, please contact me at the email address below. Thank you!]. The cost is $150 for half an hour or $250 for one hour, and can cover your current writing projects, getting a literary agent, publication, or creating a writer’s life. I don’t offer manuscript critiques. I am, however, willing to give you my general impressions of your first three pages, double-spaced. If you are interested in a consult, send an email to jennifer [at] miaking [dot] com and she’ll check my schedule and get back to you.
