Remote Writing Workshops with
​The Passionate Plotter

Remote Class Delivery
The Passionate Plotter Remote Writing Workshop is offered in three modalities:
  • Traditional Group Classes with Date-Targeted Syllabus
  • Self-Paced, Self-Directed Workshops
  • One-On-One Mentoring
Each Remote Course includes the same class curriculum as the In-Person workshops, including direct messaging and email connectivity to the instructor and other students (in group classes).

All class materials are available during the class term, and students' work, critique feedback, and notes are accessible through a direct download at the end of class, and archived for future access.   All students will have access to a community forum, to facilitate continued connectivity with other students and instructors for one year after enrollment.  Additional years of forum access may be purchased separately.

Fully Immersive Programs for
Writers Thirteen Years Old thru Adult

The Passionate Plotter process is a comprehensive writing workshop designed and taught by a Published Author, Writing Mentor, and Indie Publisher.  The program takes the novice writer from the beginning planning stages of their book, through to publication.  Each workshop targets specific details regarding the development of story, character, publication, and marketing.
​
The program is designed as focused, individual workshops, and writers have the option to enroll in the entire program, or just the individual segments that they are interested in learning more about, and practicing.   

​The individual classes are ideal for seasoned writers working on a new book project, perhaps in a different genre or style, or for those who want to hone their writing skills with their current style and approach.
The Texts
We use The Passionate Plotter textbook when teaching all of the workshop segments.  It is highly recommended, although not required, that you purchase a copy of the text when enrolling in any of The Passionate Plotter Workshops.  There are two textbook purchase options:

1.  The Complete Workshop Workbook, which is fully inclusive... All of the lectures and worksheets for the complete workshop series are in this one book.  This book is available in Paperback Edition; a hardcover edition is forthcoming.

2.  The Supplemental Worksheets Workbook, which includes just the worksheets for all of the workshop segments, but does not include the lecture texts.  This book is available in Paperback Edition; a PDF edition is forthcoming.

Students have the option to purchase textbooks in advance, or at the time of the workshop.  Returning students are encouraged to bring their  workbooks with them to subsequent segment workshops, to avoid duplicating their purchases.
