“Dear Writer” WORKSHOPS
Dear Writer,
Fall more deeply in love with the writer within you in a 7-week workshop with me. Whether you are toying with new ideas or determined to finish a book, it will be my joy to help you achieve your goals. With 22 books across multiple genres, including picture books, novels, series, historical fiction, and inspirational memoir, published by Simon & Schuster, Scholastic Press, Sourcebooks, and more, along with two decades of teaching about writing, and ten years of book-coaching, I happily have much to share.
Each gathering includes a short teaching, some writing, and equal time among participants for manuscript feedback, questions, etc. Prior to each gathering, attendees will email pages to the group so that we might read and prepare to share comments when we meet.
Required text is my new book: Dear Writer: Inspiration and Advice on Writing. Tuition: $295. Enrollment max is 8 so reserve a spot now with $50 deposit sent via Venmo or by check to me at 1811 Park Blvd., Troy, NY 12180.

"Not all great classes have to be all about 'learning something.' Especially in the world of creative arts, sometimes the best thing a teacher can do is to inspire. That was exactly what author Coleen Paratore did..." Lauren Grimley, student at Cape Cod Writers Center Conference http://blog.laurengrimley.com/2013/08/11/catching-fireflies.aspx

"Coleen Paratore is a font of inspiration, and energy. Her giving nature is fuel for the creative soul. I have been fortunate to take part in two of her workshops. On both occasions, I left revitalized and more confident about why I write." Dan Masucci, Writer/Director of DxONE, the first narrative film about Type 1 Diabetes
"Few teachers can combine practical and inspiring instruction as Paratore does."
