Writing book reviews is a way to be a good literary citizen, to process what you read, and be in conversation with literature and culture–all while championing the authors and books you love. Whether you’re interested in sharing on social media or expanding your portfolio of publications, this one-time class will cover how to write book reviews that are thoughtful, helpful, and engaging.

Please note, this class may be recorded for future use as a pre-recorded webinar.

Amanda Corbin holds creative writing degrees from Morehead State and UK, has received Artist Enrichment Grants from the Kentucky Foundation for Women, and she used The Artist’s Way to complete the first draft of her first novel.

This class is suitable for all levels.
