The Finish Line: Weekly Accountability

October 2 - November 20, 2025, Thursdays, 12:00-2:00 p.m. (eight sessions)

$445

This eight-week class is focused on helping each writer push one story, essay, or poem through the drafting and revision stages and over the finish line. We’ll meet weekly to share accountability updates, read some work-in-progress with the group, set or revise goals for your weekly writing practice, and share successes and challenges with fellow writers. You’ll also learn strategies for keeping focused and staying on track. Occasional outside readings for discussion. This is not a workshop or feedback-based class. Worked shared with be about listening to each other’s voices and having a consistent deadline to meet on a weekly basis. All genres welcome.
