WRITING CLASSES

Over the last 25 years, Frankie has taught over a thousand writers in informal and formal classes from 4th graders to octogenarians. As a published author of multiple books of fiction, Frankie knows what it takes to dig deep and shape your stories onto the page. Using an innovative, nonjudgmental approach to writing that deeply values craft, all of these classes are designed to cultivate your artistic confidence.

With an informal, conversational video style and downloadable workbooks, Frankie offers full-online asynchronous, self-paced classes that you can do over a weekend or a couple of weeks. One-hour workshops and multiple-day workshops are offered.
