Hard stories are worth the difficulty. It seems to me the only way I have forgiven anything, understood anything, is through that process of opening up to my own terror and pain and reexamining it, re-creating it in the story, and making it something different, making it meaningful—even if the meaning is only the act of telling.

—Dorothy Allison


Epiphany offers tutorials in fiction, creative non-fiction, memoir and poetry for writers of all abilities. Our teachers are all writers who have had at least ten years instructional experience.

Writers usually have material that they want to work on; other times, they simply have the desire to write. Either way, Epiphany teachers help inspire writers to face the emotional and technical challenges of writing.

Tutorial sessions “meet” weekly via email, phone and/or in-person. Each session is two hours. The first hour is a review and critique of the student’s submitted material via email. The second hour is a discussion format between teacher and student by phone or in-person.

Five sessions which last 10 hours are $800.
Ten sessions which last 20 hours cost $1600.
