I will be hosting the Janus Creative Clinic beginning at the end of this month. The Clinic is aimed at providing participants with a strong foundation in the creative writing disciplines of Short Fiction, Poetry, Drama and Feature Journalism. Participants will be divided into two groups (afternoon and evening during the week) for the literary classes - short fiction, poetry and drama - while the feature journalism classes will be held on Saturdays.
Sessions for the literary disciplines are two hours each, two sessions per week, for a total of 16 hours; sessions for the feature journalism course will be three hours each, weekly, for a total of 12 hours. Basic info can be found below, and I can be contacted at:

who will be teaching ... You?
If so are you certified to do so? Which institution/s did u attend? How many years do you have in profession?
Is this money making thing happening as a result of that workshop you did for Cd. Valere? O so now you think that u can teach people?
I'd rather do literature classes at an institution than to waste my money and let a novice teach me.
