Syllabus:
All courses run for six weeks, with a two-week grace period at the end. Two lessons are released each week for the six-week duration of the course. You do not have to be present when the lesson is released, but you must complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
A new section of each course starts on the second or third Wednesday of each month. If enrolling in a series of two or more courses, please be sure to space the start date for each course at least two months apart.
| Week One |
| Wednesday - Lesson 01 |
What is creativity? What's a writer's voice? Can writers be taught to write or is it a gift that only a few possess? Today, we'll talk about the nature of creativity, and about self-discipline. You'll learn about your writer's voice and hear from other writers. And then you'll begin to express your creativity.
|
| Friday - Lesson 02 |
Tenacity is the focus of this lesson and you'll be a whiz at focusing your writing voice once you've worked through this information. You'll also learn why creativity is recess for the brain. But even though it's the ultimate fun experience, to produce writing, it needs to be managed play. Are you ready to play with words? Jump right in. I'm here to help you!
|
| Week Two |
| Wednesday - Lesson 03 |
What are your fears? For many emerging and successful writers, there's a fear of beginning, of failure, of failing your muse. This lesson walks you through the gate of failure and will get you started as a professional writer. The best way to get over the fear of starting is to do just that: Start. Many writing instructors, including me, believe that creative people must simply show up at the page. That means getting to your creative project and putting down words. Ready to start?
|
| Friday - Lesson 04 |
Do you know your reader? Most new writers say, "Hey, of course I do!" But how well do you know your reader? If you're at all vague about this, there may come a time when you'll be frustrated and feel rejected by editors and agents and the audience you wish to attract. Writers need to know their readers thoroughly in order to write so that readers understand the message. That's our focus today and it may be your biggest a-ha moment of the course.
|
| Week Three |
| Wednesday - Lesson 05 |
Some people—those who aren't writers—believe that creative writing refers only to fiction. I write both fiction and nonfiction, and using my creative muscles for each keeps me agile and strong as a writer. As those of us who cross this line know, both types of writing take skill, tenacity, and powerful imaginations. Today, we're going to go over some of the genres in both fields. The objective of this lesson is to familiarize you with the many creative writing opportunities that are available.
|
| Friday - Lesson 06 |
You've just purchased the latest market guide, filled with guidelines for submittals to publishers and magazine editors. The book is awesome. Now looking at it, you understand how a child feels who has eaten too much cotton candy and hopped on a merry-go-round. Market guides can be overwhelming and exciting. There's so much potential. Where to start? How do you find the right magazine or publisher for a project? How can you know when it is the right one? These are just a few of the questions that you may ask. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to navigate through it. But there's more. Today, you'll learn one of the most powerful brainstorming and writing tool around. I call it the bubble method and it's fun, fast, and effective.
|
| Week Four |
| Wednesday - Lesson 07 |
For most writers, the idea of using correct grammar and punctuation is a necessary evil. Today, you'll get a clear concept of the grammar and production requirements for creating marketable writing. And since self-editing is an essential ingredient to produce good writing, we're going to focus on that, too. Most writers have a difficult time editing their work, but once you finish reading this lesson, you'll be well on your way to putting polish on your words.
|
| Friday - Lesson 08 |
Sorry to break the news to you: Even professional writers haven't found out how to squeeze 26 hours into every day. But there are ways to manage the ordinary 24 that could help you. That's what we'll explore in this lesson on time management for creative writers. By the end, you'll know how to use nonwriting time to create ideas, and use the time that's available to write.
|
| Week Five |
| Wednesday - Lesson 09 |
Today, you'll learn about overcoming obstacles that may be stopping you from writing. One obstacle, called writer's block, can be remedied once you know about the ailment. Or, writer's block can stop you cold in your tracks, never to write again. In this lesson, you'll continue to build confidence as you realize that all writers have fears, including fear of what is lurking inside a creative mind, and what might happen when it comes out in writing.
|
| Friday - Lesson 10 |
Names and titles convey information. So the title of your story, novel, nonfiction book, or article is important. It can turn readers on and generate excitement, or do the opposite. Titles can't be copyrighted, so you could call your book on dust storms in Death Valley Gone with the Wind and not fear copyright infringement. However, doing so could lessen the impact of your work. This is the focus of Lesson 10. We'll also talk more about writing essays.
|
| Week Six |
| Wednesday - Lesson 11 |
Now is the time to ask yourself: Do I like my writing? Is it more than okay? No one is listening to us so let's forget about false modesty. If writers are honest, they'll usually say they like their own writing. Some of us, and I'm in this category, adore most of what we write—including the secret scratchings in our journals. It's healthy to say we like our work. This doesn't mean that we can't strive to improve it—that's what drafts are all about. It means that at a certain point in time, like this second, the writing is as good as it can get—for now. Tomorrow we'll find ways to improve it. In this lesson, we're going to delve into ways to evaluate our own work. Plus, you'll learn everything you need to know about having a successful experience at your first (or next) writer's conference.
|
| Friday - Lesson 12 |
Dream smashers. They're in all of our lives. These are the people who pride in saying, "You've got to be mature. You could never do this or that." Today, we'll look at how to overcome the power of doubters. You'll learn how to treat yourself like a professional writer, even if you're still an emerging one. You'll discover why it's smart to buy the books and magazines you need, take writing classes, and attend workshops. Writing is all about you, and you have the power to succeed!

Student Reviews:
"As this course came to an end, it made me very sad. Even though I have not met Eva, I feel I know her, I feel close to her, and she is an inspiration to say the least. Thank you so much for the opportunities that you convey. Sharon"
"I just loved this course. I will recommend it to others."
"Eva Shaw, through this class, has given me the courage to take my next step! I'll send you a copy of my first novel."
"The assignments were wonderful. They really opened up my creativity and encouraged me to push beyond what I thought I was capable of. The feedback and structure of the class was great. I will take more courses with this instructor, and will encourage my friends to do the same."
"It was a fascinating and stimulating 6 weeks. I hate to see it come to an end, but it will stay with me in a change of habits and ideas."
"This course exceeded my expectations. I have been motivated and informed, with notes and reading recommendations and web sites so that I can continue to learn. Dr. Eva Shaw is an excellent instructor, very helpful and personally involved with her class. I enjoyed the course immensely. Thank you!"
"Wonderful Class! I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to take another class with Eva!"
"I feel the one area that I must comment on was Eva's enforced G rating. There is so much trash out there and gore and it was a welcome addition to this course. I don't like the trashy stuff and was glad that I wasn't subjected to it here. I hope that you continue this rule. I applaud her for upholding this rule during her class. I also appreciate all the encouragement that she has given me over the past few weeks, and her honesty. I will definitely be signing up for more of the writing courses and hope that she will be teaching them. This course has helped to get me back on track with my writing, given me back the confidence that I lost, and makes me feel like I am a writer and I can write to be published. I could not have done this if it wasn't an on line class. You don't know how much this means to me."
"I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and will implement many of the lessons learned to further my writing. It has been a pleasure to meet and interact with so many talented, creative writers and I just want to extend my thanks to Eva for her positive encouragement. I will miss you all."
"It's wonderful to be given a subject to write about. To know that anything is interesting if the writer is good at his craft. Best of all to have ones stories evaluated by someone who is a kind and gentle critic and knows when a story is ready to be read."
"This was my very first Online course. I truly enjoyed the Lessons, Assignments and even the quizzes! I have gained a lot of useful material that I know I will refer to in the future. Thank you very much."
"This was a wonderful course and I would highly recommend it to others interesting in writing. I can't say enough about the instructor. She was very encouraging, professional and always willing to help with any questions."
"This was my first writing class and I really enjoyed it. Eva was always encouraging and what was just a diversion (this class) to start with has actually got me up on continuing to write. Thanks to Eva and all the other students!"
"I had a grand time! I don't want to end."
"Excellent in every way. The best writing course I have taken so far."
"This was my first writing course. Being new to writing and insecure of my talent or lack thereof, I thought Eva's policy of only positive comments a boost. The suggested reading list is a keeper, especially for someone like me who has so much to learn. Eva was great. Thank you."
"What an inspirational and supportive instructor. Thank you so much"
"Really and truly enjoyed this course. Not only did it give me the basics on how to get started with writing for "real," but gave excellent practical methods to attain writing goals. Sometimes you don't know where to start, but this was certainly the perfect place!"
"This was my first online course. The best part for me was the ability to do my work at my own pace. Eve was excellent with her responses to all of us in the class. The information she shared with us was exceptional and I left lesson 12 knowing I can do this writing thing. Thank you."
"I had no idea of the impact of the feedback. Once I posted a lesson, I would check repeatedly for responses. The class was great. I'm taking the magazine writing class also, but wish Eva taught more fiction classes. I'd take every one."
"Thanks Eva and staff. I am already using your suggestions in my writing and my work. I now have a 'dream smasher' smasher of my own..a counter-critic that goes into action at the first sign of negativity instead of creativity. I jot down titles, ideas, experiences..anything I might use later. I've discovered I like writing fiction..what would you suggest as a good book? I thought I would be relieved when I didn't have an assignment to do..not so. It was great to read others' writing..to see some published. Very encouraging for all of us. Thank you!!"
"Dr.Shaw is a great instructor. She encourages her students with constructive praise. She brings out the best in all her students. I would reccommend Dr.Shaw's courses . Thank you."
"I absolutely loved this class. It was inspiring and gave me lots of practice and new information. I loved reading the works of fellow classmates."
"This was one of the most satisfying educational experiences I have ever had the pleasure of taking. I eagerly anticipated each new lesson. Wonderful teacher. Informative lessons. Great classmates. Volumnes of information given that I will now put to use. Thank you so very much!"
"Eva was a wonderful mentor not only to me but to other students in this class. She was very encouraging. I was also impressed that the G-rating was stressed. This made my experience even more enjoyable. Thank you so much, Eva, for evoking my creativity from me once again. I will treasure this experience!"
"Eva is an excellent teacher and wonderful support. She inspires me to follow my dreams."
"An echo of the sentiments of my classmates, - thank you for a great class! The feedback and enthusiasm from you and the class has been fantastic. I'm writing and it's not so scary, after all!"
"Needless to say, you have been an inspiration. I will definitely be in your next Writterific class! Thanks for helping me realize my dreams. You have been a great mentor."
"Thank YOU, Eva, for your inspirational words and lessons. Your resources have been so wonderful and chatting with classmates so inspirational. You've not heard the last from us! P.S. I have also ordered some of your books. I had no idea of the breadth or depth of your writing until I looked them all up. You've had a fruitful and busy writing career! My best to you!"
"Thank you for the encouragement. This has really inspired me to continue to write and move forward. I am even thinking about submitting for publication in areas I did not think about before. I look forward to your next class."
"I feel so fortunate to have found your class and the way back to writing. Thank you for your patience, sharing your wisdom, your encouragement (nudges) and insight."
"I am sad to see this class end. We have an incredible group. The writing of others also inspired me to push myself a little harder. The communications amongst our group was just great."
"I'm a fan of yours (and of all my online classmates) forever! Really enjoyed very moment of it and am so thankful that my creative side is awakening."
"I realized my personal goal by signing up for this class. It was the best bit of money I have spent on myself in a very long time. The interaction in the discussion areas was sweet, kind, encouraging and thought provoking. And you Ms. Eva, should feel equally proud of producing and re-shaping so many people. Thank you for making me open up and write and think bigger than before by the questions you asked and the lessons/assignments provided. Looking forward to signing up for your Writing Your Life Story class. Thank you for the challenge and the clear feedback. This was truly a fun and rewarding experience for me and I dare say, to everyone else as well. See you on the shores of creativity."
"You have been a great inspiration, and I appreciate the feedback you give us all. It's hard to believe that someone I've only met on-line could impact my life - I've absolutely enjoyed this class, and feel inspired to keep writing."
"My story, Dinner's Ready!, will be published in the September issue of the internet mag, SmokeLong Quarterly. This story sprang from our prompt "Mary was fed up with Bob" [an assignment in Writeriffic]. If only it was ALWAYS this easy!"
"I do have potential to be a great writer as does everyone in this class, and hope that this also encourages everyone as much as it did/still does me. I have a lot of dream smashers around me, but never knew they had a name. This course enlightened me, encouraged me, and validated me on many levels and I thank you from the bottom of my toes. Thank you for offering this material. I printed each lesson up, placed them in page protectors and gave them a home in a pretty three ring binder for quick reference and inspiration. Happy writing to everyone!"
"Before signing up for your class, I had not attempted to write at all for 10+ years. I was content to be a fat, dumb, and happy government employee - counting the days until retirement. Now, in the span of two months, life has taken on an air of unpredictability. The carefully constructed walls of my comfort zone have been breached, and I'm still adjusting. The other shoe hasn't dropped yet, and I'm wondering if it ever will - and who is currently holding it."
"I loved this course...it not only helped me to improve my writing with valuable techniques and tools, but it has helped me realize my passion for writing. Eva was a great instructor which is saying a lot for being online and not meeting face to face...I feel like I have a mentor and friend...I will definitely recommend this course to my friends."
"This couse was extremely valuable to me. I didn't know what to expect before the class, but am very happy that I took the course. Eva and my classmates were very supportive and positive. Great class!"
"I took this course to tighten up on my writing with better use of language, research and editing. Eva was excellent from the first assignment and I was able to learn some important techniques for my craft. I wish I could bottle her. Thanks so much, Eva. I feel that I have grown so much."
"Eva, thank you again for a wonderful class, the six weeks have gone so quickly... I have to tell you, the bubble idea is wonderful, talking to a colleague today about a community project I started using bubbles to put down ideas... it was great, and such fun. Thank you for this and your great support throughout the class, you and all the wonderful writers who participated have given me so much more confidence in my ability to express thoughts on paper."
"Thank you so much for this wonderful course. It far exceeded my expectations. I took this class because I was in a rut in my job. I wanted to add more color and creativity to my life. I wanted to explore creative writing – something I had not studied since high school and college – many moons ago. I have truly enjoyed this class and your excellent instruction. I have learned so much from you. Being new at this, I sincerely appreciate your encouragement. Being a real novice writer, you made it easy for me to participate. I love the bubble technique. I’m thankful that you gave me the “hard” weekly Artist Date assignments, which forced me to work on my scrapbooks, dance, sing or garden every week without guilt. This class has been like a retreat for me -- stimulating, insightful, and therapeutic. Thanks a million!"
"Oh, Eva, what a Pandora’s Box you opened up with this assignment. I have had others ask me “if money was no object, what would you do?” I didn’t know I had shoved down so much. I want to thank you for teaching this class and the encouragement you give. I will be going away for the month of July for a much needed break, but I will be taking my writer’s journal and other writing books with me. How do I find out what classes you are teaching in the fall? I want to write my memoirs, if for no other reason than I would like my kids to know what makes their old Mom tick. I hope to get my mother to do the same."
"A Tribute to Eva: You caused us to see what we could not see, Pried open our hearts to set our dreams free. By stretching our minds while shrinking our words-- We cut prepositions and adverbs. With imagination released and bubbling just right, Things merged together--we knew what to write. You encouraged with kindness, granting each hope, Banishing the fears threatening to grope. You imparted your vision, we took the dare-- Unveiled our words for others to share. Can this be the end? Why--it's just the beginning. Awareness dawns--it's just the first inning. The roads traverse, so many directions. We hop on our wagons to make a selection. And for your generous gifts, to you we bestow, "Our hearts remain with you--wherever you go." Thank you, Eva Shaw!"
"Thank you for helping me learn how to make my dream, a reality. This was my first writing class, and I've learned a lot. However, I still have a lot to learn and even more to create. Thanks to you , I no longer feel that my dream of writing a book is foolish or unrealistic. People do write-(with more classes)-SO CAN I."
"Thanks, Eva, for providing the much needed self-esteem. Thanks, hopefully, there will be more teachers like you."
"Eva is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! Didn't mean to shout, but I'm so happy that I took this class!! :)"
"I had stopped writing before this class. I just couldn't seem to find my way clear. Eva, this has been an extremely helpful class for me. I feel like I have regained so much. Thank you."
"Eva, I've read quite a few books on writing, but have never heard of the bubble method. I can't even begin to thank you for this wonderful bit of info. I've been working on a nonfiction book, but have felt somewhat lost and without direction. What a wonderful road map you've given me!!!! This class as a whole has been a great experience and I just need to tell you that I think you're amazing for doing what you do and taking the time to give us each individual feedback. Where, oh where do you find the time in your busy schedule???"
"The truth is I not only loved this class, but it brought me to a place in life where I have never been before. I have you to thank for that, Eva. Your class opened up a whole new world for me. Just to say those words brings a depth of emotion from within me that I can't describe. You have been a great inspiration to me in every way and your way of teaching has encouraged me to go foward with renewed strength in my dreams and my vision to never give up. The dream to write was there, but it wasn't something I could really see until I took your class. Now I feel I have direction and I have learned so much from what you have taught me. It makes me want to learn more. You will see me again in July. I will be in your class front and center. I couldn't imagine not taking it. I love your style of teaching so much that I want to take all of your classes because I know how much they will benefit me. Thank you again, Eva for all that you have given me. Yes, I am sentimental, but sincere in all that I say."
"Thank you, Eva, for bringing out the creative side in me that has been squelched for so long. Miss Mary (my elementary teacher who stopped me from writing) awakened then nearly destroyed it. But you have resurrected, revived, and renewed my dreams of writing. Speaking for the class and myself, I make this pronouncement. "WE LOVE YOU, EVA!""
"Eva, thank you again for a wonderful class, the six weeks have gone so quickly... I have to tell you, the bubble idea is wonderful, talking to a colleague today about a community project I started using bubbles to put down ideas... it was great, and such fun. Thank you for your great support throughout the class, you and all the wonderful writers who participated have given me so much more confidence in my ability to express thoughts on paper."
"Eva, I have really enjoyed this class. Thanks so much for the format. I felt like an imposter each time I submitted a "story" but each of you were very generous. Good luck to all you writers and I'll be seeing you in future classes."
"Eva, I must tell you that I was totally intimidated by the thought of posting my writings on the message board. Until this class my writing has remained in my binders away from anyone's view. Every now and then I'd write a little statement or two and I would get a favorable response, but never would have expressed myself to the level I've done for this class. Please allow me to thank you for your patience as I built up the nerve to post my writings. And of course thanks for your complimentary feedback."
"I never let anyone read my writing before because of a negative experience in college. An instructor told me flat out "you just cannot write" and it haunted me for a long time. Fast forward a million years...the last six weeks has opened a new world for me. The positive feedback from all of you unlocked a door that should have never been closed. For this I am grateful."
"Eva, I just want to thank you for a wonderful experience. You may be called a teacher by some, but I see your work as more of a ministry of hope and healing. What a wonderful outreach you have been blessed with. I plan on taking more of your classes in the future!!!"
"I have learned so much, and words that have been slumbering in my brain for years are yawning. This class has inspired me so much that I have even created a new work space in my home. It now commands me to keep writing."
"I just completed the final. Missed only one, should have checked the one that came to mind first rather than think about it. I want you to know that this course and your instruction has helped me a great deal. I've expanded my genre and discovered a renewed interest in my own work. I had lost interest and was considering chucking everything into a bonfire and giving up. This was a last attempt to find out if writing was what I was meant to do. And now I know it is. Thank you so much for your encouragement and evaluations. I will be taking the Writerific II class later in the year. I know it will be as beneficial to me as this one has been."
"I wanted to say thank you very much for the opportunity your class has given me. Your assignments made me realize how much I love to write, and it has given me the direction that I could not find in my four years of college and the year since. I know many teachers never know how much they impact their students, so I wanted to say - thank you so much!"
"Thank you so much. This class has surely been a blessing to me. Writing has been a gift and love of mine since I was a child. However, my grammar kept me from sharing my work much over the years. Please keep up the great NUDGING for myself and others."
"Eva, your assignments are wonderful instruments for helping us down the path of becoming better writers, better people. Keep it up. Thanks!"
"Eva, your class has been a turning point for me. Thank you for your lessons and encouragement. I've gone from saying "I want to be a writer" to "I AM a writer." I hope to take another of your classes sometime soon, possibly magazine writing. Thanks again!"
"Thanks a million, I am enrolled in the Craft of Magazine Writing and so far have enjoyed that class as well. I am so excited about writing, and it is nice to have the guidance of someone who shares that passion."
"I found the advice and resources invaluable. Thanks so much!"
"Just wanted to say that this class has been enriching and a lot of fun too. I have enjoyed the different styles and formats that are taken and how we each approach an assignment from a differnt point of view. Eva, you do a wonderful job as teacher and mentor. I plan to take some time to absorb all that we have been working on and will enroll in Writerrific II in a few weeks. Thank you for all of your feedback and support. It has been very encouraging and motivational."
"Eva, I hope you can comprehend your positive influence on so many people. I've learned much, much more than I ever expected and feel that I've re-discovered my creative self. Thank you for giving us this safe, non-judgmental virtual space."
"Hi, Eva. I'm sixty five years old and had never written before. You were an encouragement and blessing to me during the course. I just had my first column printed in a local monthly magazine that has a circulation of 30,000. Thank you for your positive input during the course."
"Eva, I submitted a query on one of my essays and had the fortune to hear yesterday from a well known publication that wanted me to go ahead and submit my work to them. I was obviously very flattered and I wanted to thank you for the nudge to do so; without your help I do not know if I would have proceeded. Thanks a bunch and for being such a great listener and such a great mentor."
"Dear Eva, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. The last 6 weeks have definitely been worth it. I haven't finished all the assignments, but I have been writing. I still end up not writing for a day or two and then I miss it, so I start again. But, I think this is the closest I have come to writing consistently. Thanks to you and this class, I now have a writing area. My guest room is now a guest room/writing area. I have a desk and a bookcase!But above all, thank you for being such a kind mentor.I don't think I would have gone far without your encouragement. You will most likely see me in Writerrific 2. Many hugs."
"Eva, I want to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and all the feedback from you and the classmates. I just started writing this fall after a LONG vacation and this has helped me so much! I got another article accepted for publication last week by a county newsletter. It's about how being a foster parent has made our family more thankful. It will be out in the November issue. That is twice now during this class! This class has truly inspired me. I'm not sure what I will do when I have no more of your classes to take!"
"Your course and the resources you bring to light has/have been priceless. I have done more to create and live within the writer's life in these past weeks than ever before. Thank you for the space to grow, for the support, and for the direction."
"When I enrolled in this course, I thought it would be all writing and criticism. It was more than that. It gave me confidence in myself and in my writing. You gave me support to believe in myself. I loved the course so much that I have enrolled in Part 2, Writeriffic 2."
"Eva--When I signed up for Writerrific, I must say that I wasn't expecting very much. To me, having to enroll in a course just confirmed my thought that "I don't have what it takes to write." I've been flailing around with the whole writing thing for several years now, accomplishing a bit here and there, but not very much overall. Imagine my surprise when I started following your methods and finding that I actually have a lot to say! I think the structure and the deadlines of this course have provided a necessary framework for me--for some reason, this was a structure that I was unable to provide for myself. I'll be back for Writerrific 2 next month."
"Eva, while reading Lesson 12 I began sobbing. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for your love of the written word and how you use it to connect, teach and inspire."
"Eva and fellow-students: Just letting all of you know, with mixed pride and embarrassment, that today's USA TODAY contains an essay I dashed off on "What It Means To Be An American". The mixed feelings arise because I dashed it off with no organized planning and very little editing, yet I think experience in this class contributed to its success - so you should all share it!"
"I just wanted to say that I love this class I have written more during this class than in my whole life and have become more confident about it in the process. I am very new to this and I cannot wait to write more and get more experience and hopefully one day have the confidence to submit for publication. Thank you Eva this class is great."
"Eva, you do an outstanding job encouraging each and every one of us. The additional information is terrific. Your feedback is always fresh, never stale, and with considerable humor...I'm so glad I'm taking your classes!"
