Courtney Harler is a freelance writer, editor, and educator based in Las Vegas. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) from Sierra Nevada University (2017) and an MA in English (Literature) from Eastern Washington University (2013).

As the editor-in-chief of CRAFT literary magazine and a writer herself, Courtney is uniquely qualified to teach PWN's Sub & Pub class this summer.

"Publishing your written work requires research and resilience. It’s less about luck and more about proper planning and due diligence. Students can learn how to approach the publishing process with confidence.”

Sub & Pub is a three-week, virtual class, beginning next week. Register now at the Writers Institute Classes link in our bio!

What better way to showcase the magic of our summe

What better way to showcase the magic of our summer camps than to hear from our students?

Here's what summer camper Sophia had to say about her experience after taking THREE Project Write Now summer camps in 2018 ...

" ... In each camp, I discovered new things about myself. ... I was taught valuable lessons on topics that are essential to know when interviewing people. ... I’ll be the first to admit I am no Van Gogh, but I discovered how my writing can be turned into a masterpiece just by using the right color gel pen. I made many lifelong friends over the summer. I consider them some of my best friends, and we look forward to sharing the most vulnerable parts of ourselves every week in our writing group.

All in all, in every class or camp I register for at Project Write Now, I am always astounded at the blooming talent that comes out of teens my age. I am beyond grateful to take part in such an open, supportive, passionate, and educational environment. ... Being in a safe environment surrounded by many equally talented and passionate writers is so inspiring. Any teenager, whether they have a zeal for writing or not, must sign up!"
