On Mondays and Wednesdays, Nerissa Nields holds amazing writing workshops out of her home in Northampton. Write. Be entertained. Laugh. Cry. Foster community. Drink hot beverages. All kinds of writers are welcome. We are poets, novelists, songwriters, memoirists, journalers and scribblers.
E-mail her at Nerissand@gmail.com to see what the fuss is about. The groups go for ten-week sessions.
$300 for ten weeks.
The 2012 winter session begins Monday January 9th 2012 for the Monday group, and Wednesday January 11th for the Wednesday groups. The sessions run to mid-March. In the case of snow, we will assess whether it would be best to cancel or to meet on a bridge telephone line.
To sign up, write to her at Nerissand@gmail.com. Cost of the session is $300. Note: There is a surcharge for paying by PayPal.)

Meets: Wednesdays 1-3pm Eastern time, Jan 11- March 14 2012

For bloggers of all levels of experience. This class merges the highly successful model of Writing It Up in the Garden, where participants write together, supported by their peers in Nerissa's warm and encouraging living room, with the flexible option of a teleclass. We will meet in person in Nerissa's house at 1pm. Those who are participating remotely will call in (or Skype in) at 1pm to check in briefly, then hang up as we all write together. The goal will be to write four short posts in an hour. Then at 2pm the remote participants will join the in-person cohort for a discussion of the art, craft and (if appropriate) business of blogging. Nerissa will bring in the occasional guest expert to share experience, tips and tricks. We will check in about how our blogs are going, learn from each other, and find camraderie and support in what can seem a lonely road.
