Our instructional staff is comprised of qualified instructors who each hold a BA in English or an equivalent Three-Year Program Certification in Fiction Writing from The Author's Conservatory. All classes meet or exceed state standards in multiple participating state organizations.
ACCEPTABLE CONTENT
We are a family-friendly organization and all works of fiction must be Rated G for the CW, CB, and MG classes and PG for the YA classes. We do not accept horror or similar works depicting an extreme darkness of character or gratuitous violence.
