She’s taught fiction workshops at the extensions of Brown University, the University of California at San Diego, and San Diego State University.
Lately she and Lisa Fugard, author of Skinner’s Drift, have taught 6-week workshop sessions at The Book Works in Del Mar, California. Her latest solo workshop ended before Christmas 2007. Since she was working through the copy-editing and proofing process on her new novel, she also shared this process with the class. No more workshops are scheduled at this time, due to the upcoming publication of the The Writing Class and the attendant scheduling of readings, etc.
Meanwhile, writers committed to working on short fiction or novels and looking for online (or in-person, if you live in the San Diego area) workshop-style guidance (NOT editing, ghosting, or book-doctoring) are welcome to enquire about Jincy’s availability. Should she have an opening, payment can be made here.
NEW: ONLINE WRITING WORKSHOP
I’m presently conducting online workshops, both group and individual (see below for fees). Most of the back-and-forth of the workshop is conducted in email, but chats may also be pre-arranged (there’s a chatroom on my online workshop site), so that we may discuss work in real time.
A one-on-one workshop of a single piece with 3 revisions is $180. This means that you submit a short story (or novel fragment) of no more than 20 pages double-spaced (I’m a bit flexible, but don’t go overboard). I’ll give you an initial critique, and up to three more if you want to revise it three times. I won’t edit or proofread, of course, but my critiques are generally one-two pages single-spaced, and focus on form, content, and language.
I had intended to use PayPal, but ran into annoyances, so for now I’m just using this Amazon link. You can register (for free) your own account with Amazon and pay from there. If you run into problems, please let me know (jincyk@gmail.com).
A 6-week group workshop is $250. You’ll be able to submit up to three different pieces (see length requirement above) during that period, and you’ll get a written critique on each from me, in addition to which you’ll get critiques from other workshop members. We’ll meet once a week for an hour or two–virtually, of course. NOTE: If you want a one-on-one workshop with multiple (no more than 3) submissions, you may sign up for the group rate.
