Master Classes – Deep Dives with Subject Matter Experts 

$50 JRW Members  |  $75 Non-Members

Our Master Classes are presented by skilled professionals who share their extensive knowledge and experience. These two-hour classes are designed to present a deep dive into a specific subject matter relevant to your writing journey. Instructors are asked to leave you walking away with nuggets of information you can apply to your writing work. This year, we are offering an online master class as well as an in-person master class. Online master classes include access to the recording and chat capture for all registrants, regardless of whether you are able to attend the live online class. Master Classes are led by one expert, with limited participants, to allow for interaction with the presenter. They include ample time for Q&A following instruction.

JRW offers All-Inclusive Memberships that grant you access to all of our programming, including Master Classes and our signature Annual James River Writers Conference, at discounted rates. Find details HERE.
