Registration for Fall Session classes (Oct/Nov/Dec) is now open.
A class still has space unless you see this message at the top of its course description: Attention: This class is now FULL. (You can get to an individual course description by clicking on the name of the class, below. Or you can click on the Course Descriptions link in the sidebar to your left, if you want to scroll through all the course descriptions.)
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 more 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”).
