Students

Some classes are geared towards writers of all levels of experience. Others are specialized and intensive where the students may have already published work and even each writing themselves. Many writers who have participated in our workshops have been published, which we are proud of. We are committed to ensuring our students and teachers feel a genuine sense of belonging at Grackle & Grackle.
