The Writing Salon
Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by admin in Parties & Events
The Writing Salon is a school of creative writing for adults (ages 18 and up). We offer small classes (of 6 to 13 students), held in comfortable, colorful, living room-like settings, complete with fresh-brewed coffee, tea and munchies. We are a big enough organization to offer a wide selection of classes and teachers, but small enough to ensure intimacy and individual attention. Our 5 to 9-week courses and one-day workshops include classes in every genre: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting and magazine writing.
If you’re a beginning writer, we’ll help you to lay the groundwork in basic craft. If you’re an intermediate to advanced writer, we’ll help you to move up to the next level. If you’re feeling rusty or blocked, this is where you can come to oil your gears and unlock pent-up creativity.
We believe that taking a creative writing class isn’t just about learning the nuts and bolts of craft. It’s also about renewing your motivation, your discipline and your commitment to writing. It’s also about having some fun as you learn to unleash more of your simmering creativity and imagination! Our courses are not dry, droning lectures; they are hands-on — you will write, not just think about writing — and you will engage in lots of discussion, interaction, laughter and GOOD ENERGY.
We invite writers at all levels of experience to come learn new skills and improve (or revive) old ones. We also encourage you to think of the Writing Salon as a resource for making connections, finding support and building community with other writers — in short, a place where you can go to strengthen not only your writing but your writing life.

I am working on a novel and want to know more about these classes. Are they available only for people who are living in the Union homes or are they open to the public? If so, what is the cost? Where could I find a schedule and how does one register for the classes?
