Six-week Fiction Writing Workshop
“This is the best writing class in Los Angeles. Having taken literally a hundred writing classes over the years, all across the country, I can assure you that only a handful are any good. Getting a spot in Jonathan’s fiction writing workshop is like getting to attend an elite graduate-level class with the best of the best. It’s like having the Iowa Writers’ Workshop come to you. Jonathan’s rare, thoughtful approach and innate brilliance will change you as a writer. Already I have had a short story turned into a draft of a novel and another short story published. Jonathan has helped me move my work to the next level.” -
