Handling Social Media For Writers

Instructions not included.

The next class date is Sunday, July 8, 9:30-11:30 AM Pacific time. Cost is $99 for new students; $79 for returning students and Patreon supporters.

Social media is full of potential pitfalls for writers, including letting it drain too much time, create too much controversy, or detract from one’s writing. Come learn what tools and practices to use in order to reclaim your time while making the most of what you do spend on social media.

Live classes are taught online via Google hangouts, are limited to 15 participants, and require reliable Internet connection, although in the past participants have logged on from coffee shops, cafes, and even an airplane. A webcam is strongly suggested but not required. If there is an on-demand version of the class, you will be provided with a free coupon for it, so you have access to those notes.

To register for a class, send e-mail with the following details:

• The email address that you use for Google stuff.
• Which class or classes and the dates.
• Whether you would prefer to pay via Paypal, check, or some other means.
• Please identify yourself if you are a returning student or support Cat on Patreon to qualify for the special rate.

You should receive confirmation of your registration within 48 hours.

Free scholarships: If you cannot afford a class but really want to take one, apply for a Plunkett Scholarship. Each class has a slot reserved for such a student, and the sole criteria is that you can’t afford the class but really think it would be useful for you. To apply, mail me with your name, the class name/date, and a brief statement about why you want to take the class. QUILTBAG and PoC candidates are especially encouraged to apply. The Plunkett Scholarships are named for Edward Plunkett, who wrote as Lord Dunsany. Scholarship recipients will be notified the week before the class.
