New Writing, Story, and Creativity Classes

Dear Medium Readers,

Hello from NYC! Oof, it’s been a wild chapter. I’m happy to report that I am back to life. Back to work. And doubling down on both.

This spring and summer, I’m adding teaching more formally into the creative mix, taking everything I’ve learned over the past 20+ years and pouring it — along with my heart — into a series of 12 online classes (me live on Zoom) focused on writing, storytelling, screenwriting, and creativity. Come one, come all!

Big love from my desk to yours,

JVG
