Course Offerings

DGR Co-Founder Derrick Jensen is offering his twelve-week writing course this summer, 2025. The course is 3 hours once per week, and costs $200 for the full class.

Derrick’s description of this course:

The writing classes are helpful for all levels of experience. I’ve had writers with several books out and writers who have never written anything. The stuff we talk about is helpful for lots of different styles, both fiction and nonfiction. And play writing. I’m not great at poetry or grantwriting, but both have been in the class, and I think they got some use out of it.

I’ve said before, I know writing is very scary, and I’m really nice and supportive, and also teach how to edit your own stuff. We work on everything from line editing to large scale organization and research and the muse. The class is partly you asking me questions about anything associated with writing; partly you reading whatever you are working on, and me responding, and also me teaching everyone in the class to edit your own work and to respectfully edit other people’s work; partly learning how to be critical readers, learning what makes good writing good, and not-so-good writing not-so-good; and partly just having fun with creativity and writing.
