The new year is barely a few days old but I’ve already got a whole slate of classes lined up for 2026 that I can’t wait to share with you!
We’ve got lots of brand new classes I’ve never taught before coming up (and some I’ve only ever taught in person and never online) and I think you’ll find a lot of great stuff. Both the Script Writing secrets and Scene and Sequel are classes people have specifically asked me to start teaching that I have a feeling will be a big hit!
I’ve also got three Zoom classes mixed in with the text classes.
While it’s tempting to wait until the last minute, several a maximum number of participants so if you’re eyeing any of them, make sure you secure your spot before they fill up!
Quick tip that I’m teaching at RWO twice this year and RWO members get workshops free so if you become a member, Join before my workshop and it’ll not only pay for both workshops, you’ll also get all their other workshops for the year included for the same price!
Also note that both my workshops at CRW are Members Only this year, but if you join then you’ll not only get both of my workshops for one low price, you’ll also get all the other classes and benefits that membership includes.
Anyway, here is my 2026 schedule….
