Hi Folks,
Below is a list of upcoming April/May/June classes in San Francisco and Berkeley (SF classes listed in the first section, Berkeley classes in the second section). If you are on our mailing list, we’ll notify you via email if we add any more classes to this list, but 95 percent of the Spring Session classes are posted, and REGISTRATION IS OPEN — FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED.
A class still has space unless you see this bold red message at the top of a course description: Attention: This class is now FULL. (You can get to the course description by clicking on the name of the class, below.)
If you’re not sure which class to take, give Jane a call at 415.609.2468. She has been running the Writing Salon for eleven years, and can easily help you sort it out.
For answers to BASIC questions, please peruse the site, especially: “About Us/Answers to FAQ“ and “How to Sign Up for a Class.” Also, please don’t neglect to read our Refund Policy; when you sign up for a class, you are agreeing to it (“Terms & Conditions”).
