If you think you’re weird because you’re obsessed with words, read voraciously and have a passion to write, take heart – the mother ship has landed at Blue Heron Books! This fall, you can indulge in your passion in a safe, inspiring environment through THE WRITE MAGIC – a basic creative writing course taught by The Writing Fairy herself, Dorothea Helms.

Whether you have dabbled in writing, or even just thought about writing and want to find out whether this is a creative outlet you would enjoy, this course is the perfect exploration launch point. Aimed at beginners, the 8 sessions cover the basics of fiction and nonfiction. Participants will learn how to polish their work for potential publication, find out how to approach editors with articles and ideas, and write, write, write. The course will be run workshop style, with students sharing their written pieces verbally during each class. The course fee includes the book The Writing Fairy(R) Guide to Calling Yourself a Writer by Dorothea Helms.

The best writing in this class, as chosen by the Blue Heron Selection Panel, will be forwarded to editor Adrienne Kerr at Penguin Canada for personal feedback and consideration.

Course Fee: $240 + HST
