Registration, Cancellations, and Rescheduling

i

Registration

48 Hours Ahead

Registration closes 48 hours before a course or intensive begins. Register from the page for the course or intensive you want. Members and non-members register the same way; the only difference is that members receive 20% off.

If a course or intensive you want isn't currently enrolling, it will be listed as coming soon. Let us know you're interested and we'll tell you as soon as it's scheduled.

Cancellations

What Happens If a Session Can't Run

Unfortunately, we sometimes need to cancel due to extreme weather or insufficient enrollment. When a cancellation is necessary, we'll notify you.

  • You'll be credited the amount toward another course or intensive at a comparable price.
  • If it was canceled due to insufficient enrollment, you may request a refund instead.

If you need to cancel something you've registered for, let us know and we'll issue a credit toward another offering of comparable value.

Flexibility

Reach Out and Share Your Ideas

If we're missing something, or the course you want is scheduled at a time you can't make, let us know. We're open to adjusting our schedule, adding new dates, and building new courses and intensives around what writers ask for.
