What began as the online version of The Fledgling Course, the Nestling Course has become slightly more goal-oriented. While The Fledgling Course is more intent on simply offering time for free expression and space to be creative, this at home series culminates with all participants having completed the draft of some original piece of creative writing—whether it be a chapter, short story, essay, poem, or scene.
Through building off of our own ideas, each session is spent working toward the draft of an original narrative piece. (It is not required that writers have an idea for such a piece prior to class, though you may, and “homework” will be limited to an hour or less extra per week).
In each session we will discuss the tenants of developing a narrative, exercising skills in character development, creating conflict, and more through writing prompts. The first four weeks will be dedicated to discussion and the generation of ideas. In the last two weeks, we will continue developing work and participants will have the opportunity to receive more critical feedback on edited work generated in class.
Following the final session, Sammi will provide written annotation and feedback on up to 10 double spaced pages of work for writers who turn their work in within two weeks of the last meeting.
These sessions meet face to face through a (free) online conferencing app, which means you may participate from anywhere in the country (or the world)!
Refunds only available for cancellations made 6 business days prior to class start date.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.

End your day with a creative release
Unlike other workshops that require a finished manuscript when you walk in the door, Fledgling is for the writer who isn't sure what to write yet. Fledgling is for the tired 9-5er who lost track of her creative spark. Fledgling is for those afraid of being mocked...
