Our simple philosophy?

Writing begins with a writer.

With this in mind, our teachers take the extra time to learn about our students' goals as writers. We take into account that every writer has different aesthetics and reasons for wanting to pursue creative writing, and we honor this every step of the way. We feel confident in our teaching and writing talents; but it's also true that if we feel there is a better learning venue for you, we'll tell you that up front. We'll even recommend a place that might be helpful, if we know of one. We'll never waste your time. She Writes teachers offer honesty and compassion, and they always challenge each writer to raise the bar just a little higher--because that's what learning and discovery are all about.

Do I have to be a techie and know all sorts of computer stuff to take a class?

The classes are designed with assignments week by week. All you have to do is push a button for each weeks' assignments. The assignments are clearly written and easy to follow through on. Some will ask you to push a button that takes you to another web page or a video or maybe even a slideshow. These, too, are done with the click of a mouse--but if you need help at any point, your She Writes teacher will be right there. No worries. Learning the internet is part of being a writer these days, so it's all pertinent knowledge--and it's fun and incredibly easy on She Writes.

Are She Writes meetings and critiques in real time or do I have to sit around and wait for emails and stuff?

Real time. We meet in closed chat rooms to discuss work that your teacher and all your She Writes colleagues will have read. The chat rooms are exciting and the exchanges are dynamic. While some writers might be shy in a classroom, all writers like to write, and a chat room is a good place to do that--a real conversation in real time.
