WOW! Women On Writing
Workshops & Classes
Welcome to our classroom! Whether you are looking to boost your income or work on your craft, we know that education is an important part of a writer’s career. That’s why WOW! handpicks qualified instructors and targeted classes that women writers will benefit from. The instructors are women we’ve worked with on a professional level, and they offer high quality courses on a variety of topics.
How the courses work: All of the courses operate online—whether through email, website, chat room, webinar, or listserv, depending on the instructor’s preferences—and are taught either one-on-one with the instructor or in a peer workshopping environment. The flexibility of the platform allows students to complete assignments on their own time and work at their own pace in the comfort of their own home. It’s a wonderful experience and an excellent way to further develop your skills, or to try your hand at something completely new!
By enrolling in one of our e-courses, you’ll be that much closer to reaching your writing goals.

WOW! Women On Writing ensures that our instructors will work with you one-on-one. In most cases you will receive emailed course materials and assignments, or for those with groups, you will be able to download course materials. Your instructor will give you assignments and personal feedback, and guide you through a charted course of learning. Our instructors go above and beyond to help you achieve your writing goals.
Enrollment
Upon successful completion of payment via PayPal, your name, email address, and contact info will be submitted to your instructor within a week of your enrollment. She will contact you before her class starts and provide you with the necessary information you need to start the class. If you have another e-mail address you’d like to use for the course, please send it to Marcia & Angela classroom[at]wow-womenonwriting[dot]com and we will forward the information to your instructor.
