Carolyn Ziel’s, Found Voices™—Next Level Writing Support

Carolyn Ziel’s Found Voices™—Next Level Writing Support is that next step for those who have been studying Method Writing and have completed the first two levels. You’ve found your voice. You’ve been practicing, studying, and writing. You’ve been focusing on the process of writing, and the happy outcome of all this practice is product—you now have the makings of a short story, a novel, a book of poetry, a memoir, or something else you might want to develop, and eventually, see this project to completion.

A Note From Carolyn:

Carolyn Ziel’s, Found Voices™—Next Level Writing Support
is just what it claims: Next Level Writing Support. It is beyond just copy-editing. In this class, we focus on the larger structures of your work—specific themes you might want to emphasize in your work, tone, narrative action, dialogue, character development, and more. We’ll consider where you are and where you want to go with your longer-form work.

I love teaching this class so much. Not only do I see students’ writing improve exponentially, I see writers grow, not just as writers, but as human beings as they polish their work for submission and publication, watch as they gain the confidence to enter contests and submit their work to agents and, of course, eventually finish their books.

Classes are limited in size, so we have time to focus on the work with a broader lens while going deeper into the editing process and working toward your finished project. 

Kate B. wrote her book while taking Found Voices™—Next Level Writing Support. Here’s what she had to say: 

Carolyn is an incredible writing teacher. Taking classes with her has been a transformative experience. Each class is filled with encouragement and insightful feedback. Her keen eye for detail has helped to nurture my creativity and refine my writing skills. Carolyn creates a supportive environment that fosters growth, allowing me to explore my voice. Thanks to her, I now feel confident in my writing and have finished my first book. I look forward to continuing to learn from her. I can’t recommend her enough!

Emily R. did as well:

Carolyn helped me immensely in writing the first draft of my first book. She was so supportive and really took the time to understand what I was aiming for. She has a formidable understanding of writing, writers, and the craft of storytelling. She’s fun, enthusiastic, and encouraging. Her classes are small, intimate, and supportive. Her feedback is thorough, detailed, and incredibly USEFUL. She has the eye of a professional editor. Whether you’re in exploration mode or need a kind-hearted push to get you and/or keep you going with your writing, Carolyn Ziel will get you there.
