During the spring of 2024 I’ll be offering three writing courses at Skrivarakademin, Stockholm. There are still spots left in the intro and intermediate courses, but unfortunately the third course is already fully booked.

A weekend short story workshop is scheduled for March 9-10.

I’m a working author so my courses are skills-based and focused on quickly developing writers’ ideas and abilities. Each evening includes theory and textual analysis, and each writing challenge focuses on a particular skill. During discussions we talk about how each others’ texts function for us as readers, without value judgments –– in other words we act as readers, not editors. Attendance is always excellent and participants tend to be friendly, motivated, and intelligent. Many of the writers stay in touch and continue meeting after courses have finished. Former students sometimes even collaborate to make books together, such as last year’s well-written book Aurora’s Thread, written, edited, and produced by a group of my former writing students.
