Story Circle Online Classes


The Story Circle Network has been offering classes, workshops, conferences, writing and reading circles, and online programs—all designed for women—since 1997.

Programs for Women
Our central program focus is writing about our lives—about women's lives. We have offered courses and educational programs (both as workshops and online classes) in memoir, reminiscence, journaling, poetry, family stories, kitchen table stories, writing-as-healing, place writing and nature writing, writing for personal growth and spiritual development, and poetry.

We teach general writing skills, organization, and critical editing, as well as technical skills in book design and development, online marketing, blogging, and other Internet-related activities.

We are expanding our course offerings so that more of our teaching work is available online, open to both members of the Story Circle Network and women non-members.

Faculty
Our faculty members, all women, are experienced teachers and published writers with a special interest in helping women explore their lives. If you are a skilled writer who is experienced in teaching memoir, journaling, life-based fiction, and other lifewriting forms and are interested in joining our faculty, we'd like to hear from you.

Online Resources
We offer many free resources to lifewriters. We also publish a regular newsletter, with information about our current online courses and other SCN activities.

Our Books
SCN is an active publisher of books, anthologies, and a quarterly journal. Our published titles include:

You will find a list of published SCN authors here.

Book Reviews, Podcasts, Contests, and More
In addition to its educational programs, SCN sponsors a women's book review website, monthly podcasts, an annual lifewriting contest (open to members only), and biannual conferences: LifeLines and our National Memoir Conference.
