Alchemy: Two new guests & a discount

Just a quick update on the next session of Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing.

First of all, register by Tuesday, March 1 (that's tomorrow) to save $30 off the regular course price.

Second, I'm thrilled to welcome these two new guests to the course.

Susan G. Wooldridge is a poet and author of poemcrazy: freeing your life with words (in a 21st printing!), Foolsgold: Making Something from Nothing and Freeing Your Creative Process, and Bathing with ants (poetry chapbook). Susan will share her thoughts on how we can play with language and imagery.

Cynthia Newberry Martin is a fiction writer and the Review Editor for Contrary. Both her first and second novels placed in the 2010 Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition: The Painting Story on the Short List for Finalists and Between Here and Gone as a Semi-Finalist. Her blog, Catching Days, was named as one of the "lit blogs we love" by Powell's Books. Cynthia will share her thoughts on the process of writing a novel and creating stories that connect with readers.

And third, I've tweaked the course content to work even better for writers at different experience levels. Each week includes core lessons and exercises to get you started, plus bonus materials that invite you to go deeper. This means that both beginners and more experienced writers will benefit from the course.

All of the details are over here, registration is here, and I'm here in case you have questions.
