Graduate and Undergraduate Summer Class
Email: jlynch@worcester.edu
Hello, students,
I hope everyone is well during these strange times! I wanted to pitch my summer class to you. I am teaching a graduate and undergraduate Summer 1 class on how to sell your writing. Although I have sold mostly films in my career, I will also share my experience with finding the best places to send short stories, novels and plays. Even if you are just interested in learning how writers get published, join us!
Stay well!

WGSS courses can double-dip with major/minor requirements and LASC requirements, making it easier to complete the concentration.
