This spring, the Great Smokies Writing Program at UNC Asheville will offer university-level classes led by professional writers in chapbook construction, character creation, pitching and publishing, and more.
Courses will be taught in person and online and begin with a range of starting dates from mid-January to early April.
Turn your deepest fears into fuel for your next personal essay. Learn all the tools you need to (finally) finish that novel. Get feedback from a professional editor before submitting your poetry collection to publishers. The best part? You’ll do it all in the company of a supportive learning community of other writers and creatives.
Each course carries academic credit awarded through UNC Asheville. Enrollment is limited. Registration is open now.
