Our vast array of classes challenges you to see yourself and the world in a different way.
Here you are at ground zero — the classroom. Your journey is about to begin.
Whether you choose to write a memoir about your youth as a magician who performed awe-inspiring feats, a science-fiction novel that bends the mind, or a political outline for an upcoming debate, our teachers provide the expertise required to guide you through the process.
The classroom is only the beginning.
Between sessions, which are traditionally held once a week, you will be given assignments that provide clear direction on how to continue with your writing piece.
Your new hobby is a great opportunity to collaborate with friends, family, and others.
Maybe you interview new people to gain their insights for a biography, or you contact old friends and reminisce while checking your facts, or perhaps you simply share your progress with family members.
It may be about the zeitgeist of the 1970s, the tastes on a culinary tour, or the intensity of a beloved game. It's about the locations, the people, and the events. It's... your memoir!
Our featured writing class is The Memoir Series. As its name implies, it takes place throughout a series, three to be precise. Each series (semester) is three months in length and contains 12 sessions (36 sessions in total).
Throughout the course of this class, you will be guided by one of our passionate teachers to write a memoir from scratch or continue and improve one that you have already started.

It all begins with the teacher, but not just any teacher, a writing enthusiast, a logophile, a bibliophile, a... very passionate instructor!
