May 2022// Reinvigorate Your Writing Practice
Early registration for July/August courses; self-guided courses; a new course in flash fiction!
Hello Friends,
I’m introducing a new section of the newsletter, “Muse Offerings,” in which I send out updates on new courses opening up at Muse. If you don’t want to receive updates focused on classes, you can unsubscribe from just the “Muse Offerings” section of the newsletter, no hard feelings! I’ll still mention the courses in the other posts, but these will be the main “sales” posts, where you’ll receive things like heads-up about early registration and about sales closing. I’ll send out about twelve of these sales-y updates per year.
Thank you to those of you who have reached out to tell me you’ve been enjoying my Flash Memoir Friday posts! And thanks also to all the new and returning students. I am excited to share with you the upcoming courses from our expanded Muse offerings, including a return of Megan Baxter’s lauded Memoir in Collage and our first ever fiction course, Flash Fiction: Form and Fracture, from writer and instructor extraordinaire, Kami Westhoff.
Happy writing!
Joanna
