Writing Workshop
Originally presented as live Zoom classes, these lessons have been consolidated as videos to benefit writers ages 12 and up. The workbooks are self-taught, but these short (15-20 minutes each) videos enhance the lessons and are available free of charge. You can purchase the workbooks in print or instant download. Or you you enjoy the videos without the workbook. Happy Writing!

Instructor: Susan K. Marlow
Writers Roundup and Writers Gold Mine are based on multi-published, award-winning author Susan K. Marlow’s twenty years of experience with homeschooling, young authors’ writing workshops, and working with editors and publishers. Her Circle C and Goldtown series total over 225,000 books in print. These videos are free to all, even if you do not purchase the workbook. However, writers of all ages will greatly benefit by using one of the workbooks alongside the video lessons.
