Greetings, Writers One and All!
Registration for Summer Session classes, many of which are starting between July 11 and July 16, is now open. See the sidebar link: “How to Sign Up for a Class” if you have questions about how to register. All classes have space available unless you see a message in bold red letters at the top of the Course Description that says: Attention: This class is now FULL. If you don’t see that message, that means the class is still available, and there is no need for you to call us to find out.
SCROLL DOWN to see the list of all upcoming Summer Session classes. Click on the course title to get the full course description with teacher bio, cost, etc. (If you leave this page, you can also find the same list of upcoming classes by clicking on “Classes at a Glance” in the sidebar.)

Not sure which class to take first — or second or third? Fear not. Just give me (Jane) a call at 415.609.2468. I’m the owner of the Writing Salon, and I can help you sort it out. I’ve been doing this for ten years. I DO often answer the phone, but if you get voicemail, please leave a message. I will call you back.
