Instructor BioKristin Harmel's Courses How to Write Chick Lit – Los Angeles (Seminar on August 11)
How to Write Chick Lit – Washington DC (Seminar on November 5)
Novel Writing: Chick Lit – (Class starts September 15)  In addition to being a novelist, Kristin is also a frequent contributor to People magazine and a freelancer whose credits include Glamour, American Baby, YM, Woman's Day, Modern Bride, and Men's Health. She reviews chick lit novels on The Daily Buzz, a nationally syndicated morning television show that runs in more than 130 markets nationwide with 2 million viewers each day. She has taught at the University of Florida's College of Journalism & Communications (and remains a big Gators fan!). Testimonials I am presently on chapter 17 of what I anticipate will be a 22 chapter chick lit novel. I completely could not have achieved what I feel is a pretty great accomplishment without Kristin's chick lit class. She gave me a place to start and set me forth on a disciplined course. I have followed Kristin's excellent advice, and I hope that it will pay dividends down the road! -- Cat Hunter"Kristin Harmel brings an unparalleled amount of enthusiasm and knowledge to the class. I couldn't have asked for a better structure, a more knowledgeable and helpful instructor, and a better forum for working on my chick lit book." -- Julie Easter "Kristin is truly a dynamo! She takes the time to explain her writing process, respond to our writing process, and assist us in every way. She made herself available in and outside of class. A truly wonderful person and teacher." -- Ellen Feig "I really appreciated the workshop and all of the insights from Kristin. I had a lot of great breakthroughs by attending the session and I found it really helpful. I am extremely excited to keep writing my novel and now feel I have a much better idea of what I should keep in mind and aim for as I do so. Kristin's simple, straightforward and encouraging methods made the class a pleasure and I am, sincerely, so glad that I attended." -- Olivia Martel "Kristin Harmel is a great instructor. She motivates you to get the idea from your head onto the paper and get your book done. She goes beyond lecture to actual concepts. Amazing class and great writer, I would recommend it to anyone interested in writing chick lit." -- Linda Olatunde |
