Publish Your Own Anthology

In  this class, TIWP writers will select, edit, and lay out their strongest pieces in order to self-publish their own anthology of  writing. Whereas most of our classes are focused on generating that  all-important first draft (and our TIWP anthologies only feature 2-3 pieces per author), this class is focused on a  vigorous process of editing, polishing, and culling the best writing of each writer, anywhere from ten to fifty pieces—or one long story.

Writers will also learn more about editing and book design using the platforms Reedsy and Canva.  Those who enjoy art or photography will learn to integrate visuals into  their writing and everyone will be empowered to design their own cover.  We will also discuss website building, including the process of  purchasing your own domain and establishing your online platform as a  published author. In the end, each writer will emerge with an  exceptional portfolio of writing in the form of a professional quality  book (with both soft and hard cover options) printed through Blurb.

To ensure that each student gets personalized mentoring and support, we limit class size to 6.
