How do I sign up for the our workshops?
You can find all of our workshops listed in the “Our Workshops” page. Once on that page, click on the workshops that interests you to read a full description and to check the date on which the selected session will be held. You can add your selections to the cart. Sessions are purchased individually. You can sign up for as many or as few as you would like. Sign-ups are accepted up to 24 hours ahead of each session. Participants will each receive a Zoom link and password ahead of each session.
Will the workshop presentations be recorded and made available following the live Zoom sessions?
All presentations will be recorded with the exception of the manuscript sharing sessions. Participants will have access to those recordings for 6 weeks following the live session so that they may revisit key concepts and undertake the suggested exercises on their own time. Those who are unable to join a session due to a scheduling conflict can purchase the session and listen to the recording during that 6-week period. The workshop sessions have been created for the sole use of those who have purchased each offering, and are not to be distributed to or shared with others.
Are all of Beth’s workshops focused entirely on truth-related literature?
No. Beth draws her examples and insights from micro-essays, essays, memoirs, poems, prose poetry, fiction, music and art. The concepts she explores have crossover appeal for those thinking about writing other forms.
What happens if my class is cancelled or rescheduled?
If your workshop doesn’t reach minimum enrollment or we have a scheduling conflict, we may reschedule or cancel up to the day class is set to begin. If we reschedule or cancel, we will give students the opportunity for a full refund, or we can help you transfer to a new class. If a class is rescheduled, you are welcome to remain enrolled if the new dates work for you.
Can I get a refund if I no longer wish to attend?
Yes. Refunds are available up to a week before each workshop, minus the processing fees. Please contact us through our contact form. Please also remember that recorded sessions provide an opportunity to review what you missed.
Does Beth offer individual consulting on memoirs/essays-in-progress?
Yes, she does. Beth charges $175/hour for these sessions, which are typically oriented toward developmental edits. Beth provides notes on the manuscripts and typically concludes with a one-hour Zoom session during which the writer can ask follow-up questions. Please send us an email expressing your interest.
