For over a decade, the Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers has helped some of the best and brightest new genre voices emerge via its on-demand and live classes aimed at writers working in fantasy and science fiction. Each live class has three free scholarships; economically disadvantaged, PoC, and QUILTBAG applicants are particularly encouraged to apply.
Cat Rambo has been teaching classes and workshops for over three decades at levels ranging from 5th/6th graders through college, graduate level, and continuing at institutions including the Johns Hopkins University, Indiana University, Bellevue College, Clarion West, the PNWA conference, and more. Students have gone on to publish novels and amass award nominations and wins, including the Hugo, the Nebula, World Fantasy, and Eppie awards. In creating the Rambo Academy, she’s assembled some of the most talented writers and teachers working in the genre today, each speaking on their areas of expertise.
Here’s the list of upcoming live online writing classes, which are usually two hours and range $49-$99. Here’s a calendar listing of the live online writing classes along with other appearances.
If your schedule doesn’t accommodate the live classes, check out the on-demand online writing classes, which can be taken at your own pace, and range $9-$29.
To see what live classes are upcoming, refer to the calendar or consult the faculty page to find out what the individual teachers are teaching.

Each live workshop has three free slots for students who couldn’t otherwise afford the class, with one slot reserved specifically for PoC and QUILTBAG writers. To find how to apply, read about the Cat’s Plunkett scholarships.
