English language is full of rules! We were exposed to them once upon a time. Some rules we got, but others we never quite figured out. Those rules we feel ignorant of or uncertain about undermine our confidence as writers. Have you ever launched a sentence, only to stop because you’re not sure how to complete it correctly? When do I use “whom”? Dang--is it “lay” or “lie”?

Which rules still stump you? Join us for this painless 4-week course on Wednesday nights. We’ll confirm the rules you know and correct the rules you don’t. Homework will be assigned each week—including some prior to our first class. At each session we’ll review homework together, explore a new topic, and work on a new exercise.

So come beef up those grammar muscles! Become a more confident writer, and let's have fun with language.

Instructor Bio:

Partnering with individuals as a writing coach, Jenn supports clients’ progress with a writing project, offering useful editorial skills as needed.
