Jean Tennant's Writer's Workshop
WELCOME!
For a number of years I've taught workshops throughout the Midwest, traveling sometimes as much as three hundred miles from home to conduct a one-day workshop. I've done this because I love the writing process, love to talk writing with other writers, and always enjoy the opportunity to fire up enthusiasm in aspiring authors who just need a little guidance to set them on the path to publication.
Now I'm happy to present this online, interactive classroom, where you will receive the same lessons I've taught in the past, but at your own convenience. You can log in and out during the week of each workshop as fits your schedule, and submit work you would like to share or have evaluated.
The week-long workshops will be held Monday through Friday, twice a month. The last lesson will be presented on Friday, and final evaluation of your submissions will be given no later than Sunday.*
HOW IT WORKS:

COST:
The cost of the one-week workshop is $60. This is slightly more than the price of the full-day workshops I teach at Community Colleges and through Community Education Departments throughout the Midwest, but you get it for a full week!
Class size is limited, so sign up early for the week you wish to
attend. >>>

"The workshop was fabulous and the handouts
Jean prepared were invaluable. It was the best seminar of
its kind that I have attended. Jean is professional and
knowledgeable about every facet of the business of writing
whether your interest is magazine articles, books or
scriptwriting."
"I attended one of Jean Tennant's workshop
recently because I didn't know
what I wanted to write or even how to begin. By the time the
day was finished I had a much better grasp of the writing
basics, how to format a novel and the encouragement I needed
to get started. I would take Jean's workshop again in a
heartbeat!"
Fantastic! I had fun and learned more than
I ever expected to.
I recently attended Ms. Tennant's Writing
Workshop and enjoyed it very much. She is certainly an
expert in the field of writing and as a presenter was well
prepared, organized and enthusiastic. The
information, advice and tools she shared were
so helpful to me as a novice writer. I learned much in the
process and am more determined than ever to keep working on
my writing skills and story ideas. Thank you Jean. The online workshop was even better than I
expected, and I'd set the bar high. Destiny J. St. Joseph, MO
