ACW announces 2025 online winter writing classes
SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack Center for Writing is offering six online writing classes this winter.
Classes include five, five-week online writing classes — poetry, fiction, nonfiction, comedy and performance — and a one-time seminar on how and where to submit your work for publication. Every class offers one-on-one feedback from talented writers and teachers, plus the opportunity to grow as a writer in the constructive, supportive company of others.
“This winter, no matter what you write, where you live or whether you even consider yourself a ‘writer’ yet, we’ve got something for you,” said ACW Program Manager Tyler Barton. “In 2025, ACW is taking a more holistic approach with our online class offerings. This means we’ve got more classes than ever before, and we’re reaching out to a wider range of writers with classes that go beyond the standard genres of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Due to the popularity of our comedy writing workshop at the Kickass Writers Festival, we added a humor writing course led by a by frequent New Yorker contributor Bryn Durgin, as well as a class on writing monologues and one-off performances.
Classes are available on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale of $50 to $250. Learn more and register at adirondackcenterforwriting.org/events.
“We want to help writers understand what they can do with their work when they’ve finished revising it,” said Nathalie Thill, ACW’s Executive Director. “That’s why we are also offering a ‘Submitting Seminar’ focused on the best practices and effective strategies for getting your work out into magazines and other publications. And for anyone who’s not feeling ready to take on a 5-week commitment, we have a drop-in workshop on the basics of creative writing here at ACW (and on Zoom) on Wednesday, Jan. 15 with Plattsburg-based novelist and film-maker, Julie Canepa.”
