Writing Pad classes aren’t stuffy. They’re pampering, relaxing and inspiring. At each class you can expect:
A writing class shouldn’t be boring or annihilate your ego! All Writing Pad classes are flavored by the Amherst Writers and Artists (AWA) method. The AWA method establishes a safe, respectful writing space and encourages spontaneous writing exercises (e.g., timed writing to a prompt). If a student decides to read what he’s written in class (reading is not mandatory), the group will only respond with what they like and remember. If a student brings in writing he’s worked on outside of class, he’ll receive balanced feedback.
This method was developed in response to the traditional writing seminar where students bring in manuscripts for harsh critique, often leaving class feeling blocked and discouraged. In contrast, the AWA method blends improvisational writing and a safe, supportive environment to produce richer, more innovative writing in students.
Class Structure
Every class has a different balance of in-class writing, craft talks, and workshopping. Classes typically run for two and a half hours and include brief social breaks accompanied by assorted teas, gourmet tasting plates, and/or dessert.
Students who have taken classes at Writing Pad have found them to be highly informative, inspirational, and well-structured. They appreciate that the classes involve exercises rather than just lectures, as it allows for more interactive learning. Many students report learning a lot in a short amount of time and feel that they have gained valuable skills as writers. Some students specifically mention learning about TV writing, memoir writing, novel writing, personal essay skills, and podcasting. The instructors are praised for their passion, dedication, and real-world experience, and students feel that they have improved their writing thanks to their guidance. Additionally, students appreciate the community aspect of the classes and the opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions from both the instructors and their fellow writers. Quotes: - "The bottom line is that I am a better writer thanks to her and my classmates." - "I learned a ton and can't wait to start my podcast." - "I can't believe how much energy and insight they have for each student's writing."
