Classes

Below are classes I teach through Zoom.

Please click on each title for description, payment, and registration information.

All classes and workshops in Eastern time.

 

 I also teach classes regularly at GrubStreet, Boston's creative writing center.

Please check their site and my linktree for my upcoming GrubStreet classes.

​

​

How My Classes Work

  • Small cohorts. Enough voices for perspective, few enough for building trust and feeling safe. 

  • Structured workshops. We read with purpose and offer feedback you can actually use and that is appropriate to where you are in your writing journey.

  • Clear next steps. You’ll leave with a plan for revision after each class.

  • Respectful space. We’re serious about craft and kind to each other.

​

Who These Classes Are For

Writers of memoir and creative nonfiction at any level (unless otherwise specified) who want honest, specific feedback; teachers and caregivers balancing busy lives; anyone ready to revise, not just talk about writing.

 

Tuition & Payment

  • A non‑refundable deposit of $150 holds your seat.

  • Full tuition is due before the first class unless we’ve arranged a payment plan.

  • Partial scholarships may be available; please tell me if cost is a barrier for you.

 

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Before the course begins:

  • 14+ days prior: 100% refund minus a $50 admin fee, or 100% credit toward a future class (good for 12 months).

  • 7–13 days prior: 50% refund, or 100% credit (12 months).

  • < 7 days prior: No cash refund. Credit only if your seat is filled from the waitlist; otherwise no credit.

After the course begins:

  • Once the first class meets, tuition is non‑refundable.

  • If you withdraw in Week 1 and I can fill your seat by Week 2, I’ll issue a credit for the unused sessions (no cash refund), valid for 12 months. If the seat cannot be filled, no credit.

Make‑ups & transfers:

  • You may transfer once to a future session within 12 months if requested before Week 2 and if space allows.

  • Missed classes are not refundable.

If I cancel:

  • If I cancel a class or course, you’ll receive a full refund or full credit—your choice.

TESTIMONIALS

"Whether you are new to writing or a long-time writer, Aimee is responsive to where you are in your journey. As a new writer and adoptee, I have found belonging in Aimee's classes. Aimee is patient and kind. With each prompt and class Aimee challenges my thinking, instills confidence in each writer, and helps me take the next step on my path as a writer." 

MARI PEREIRA, WRITER & EDUCATOR

"Aimee’s class came along just when I needed it. With each class and each prompt, plus her endless encouragement, I completed a first draft of my next personal essay. A real breakthrough. As if that weren’t enough, she offered to edit a longer essay I’d written months ago to help me reposition it for submission to a publication. She did an outstanding job. I thank her for everything!" 

ANDI POLLINGER, ESSAYIST

Loved the class. It far exceeded my expectations. Aimee’s generous spirit and thoughtful facilitation helped to create an encouraging and thought-provoking experience. Under Aimee’s guidance, the class gelled into a respectful, trusting community, as we shared often sensitive and moving accounts from our nascent memoirs. I not only learned a lot from my classmates’ and Aimee’s reflections on my writing, but also from listening to comments about other people’s writing. Aimee’s presentations to the class contained a lot of valuable insights into various aspects of the craft of memoir writing. Similarly, the memoir examples Aimee shared with us were powerful and wide-ranging. I can’t say enough about how great the class was.

PETER THORLICHEN, WRITER & TEACHER

"They say that the best writing feedback does not seek to advise or critique. As a teacher of memoir, Aimee asks the right questions, offers thoughtful writing prompts, and provides examples that allow us to dig deeper into our own personal truth to create compelling works of nonfiction that sparkle on the page."

SUMMER KOESTER, WRITER & TEACHER
