I know everybody reading this is way beyond beginner, but if you could pass this around:

Beginning Creative Writing
The Women’s Studio Center is offering a class for beginning writers. Even if you’ve never written a poem or short story, you are welcome here. The class will cover the basics of fiction and poetry, with assignments and in depth analysis of what makes fiction and poetry work. Classes are very reasonably priced (under $160) and perfect for the beginner who feels intimidated. Our classes are warm, nurturing and small. You are guaranteed a great deal of individual attention from the instructor. Classes start in May, so sign up soon. There are a few slots left.

Classes are led by Christine Hamm, an experienced teacher and award-winning writer. Christine has a MFA and an extensive publication history. Please call 718-361-5649 to sign up, and visitwww.womenstudiocenter.org. Write to inktastesbitter@yahoo.com for more details.
