Feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you have. The feedback I have gotten about this course is AMAZING. I am already making plans for the fall -- a local literature class and possibly a women's [young ladies] literature class.

Greetings!
Find attached the syllabus for the summer Creative Writing Course. It has the "scoop" on what we will be doing.
Also please find attached a questionnaire for your student(s) to fill out. I will tailor the course to each student. [Which I am incredibly excited to do, by the way!] I need these returned by June 10th [Thursday]. I would prefer by that morning, but please no later than 3 p.m.
Our first "Meet In Person" will be June 18th. For those of you that would feel more comfortable signing a release form or something to that affect, please let me know and I will provide a release form for you. We will be meeting at my home. [That is where all my materials are! And sometimes it is just too much to lug around.]
Feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you have. The feedback I have gotten about this course is AMAZING. I am already making plans for the fall -- a local literature class and possibly a women's [young ladies] literature class.
I look forward to meeting your students and getting to know them - work with them - learn with them...
Thanks!
