FAQs

Will I need to purchase any software?

No. Students must be able to use Zoom and WordPress and have a reliable Internet connection, but the class does not include any additional costs.

What is your refund policy?

Full refunds will only be offered if another student is able to take the class in your stead. As this class has limited seats, please only register if you are certain you will be able to attend and can submit a complete story draft for critique by April 10.
