Master Classes

During the 2007-2008 school year, the Writing Center is sponsoring a series of four master classes that are taught by professional writers who have an interest in mentoring writing students at the Claremont colleges. A master class is an intense, small group writing workshop.

Students who would like to take advantage of these classes should submit a short writing sample, along with the application form for the class they wish to attend. Submit applications to the Pitzer Writing Center in 131 Mead Hall or to Jackie Levering Sullivan in 220 Scott Hall. Contact Jackie at (909) 607-3072 to learn more about upcoming classes. Participation is limited to 10 students, so submit your application early.

Our first class of Fall semester was taught by prominent Hollywood screenwriter Dianne Dixon. The second class was taught by novelist Michelene Esposito and the third was taught by award-winning author and poet Frances McConnel. Our final master class was a workshop on writing for children. Q.L. Pearce and Jackie Levering Sullivan conducted the class.
