Two New Instructors

We're pleased to announce that two new instructors, poet Jeanette Lynes and fiction writer Annabel Lyon, have joined Booming Ground. Both Jeanette and Annabel will be offering mentorships, courses, and manuscript evaluations.

Courses

Courses are the newest addition to Booming Ground's offerings. Courses focus on a specific aspect of craft, genre, or the business of being a writer. They usually involve set readings and assignments, and are a great way to get your writing feet wet or learn more about a topic you're interested in. Booming Ground's courses are not graded, and they do not provide university credit.
