At Home Pro Writers

Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this website, but people have still been finding the teachings and visiting the site. Some have even subscribed! If we haven’t talked before or you need a bit of a reminder of what Pro Home Writers is, here you go:

Pro Home Writers is a hub for serious writers who want to learn the craft of writing and better their stories to enhance or start their careers all from the comfort of their own homes. This site is primarily articles on writing but it growing to include tools and courses. The author and editor, Aigner Loren Wilson, runs Pro Home Writers.

So what’s been going on over the next couple of years that’s kept me away from this site? Well, I started grad school and will be graduating this June with my MFA in Fiction from the top program in the country, Bennington Writing Seminars. I’ve been teaching classes. I got nominated for best novelette, best critic, and even won a Hugo Award!

I also built a tool for writers called the Scene Builder! It allows writers to build their stories scene by scene and input scene elements to make sure the scene is working and pushing the story forward.

Yeah, the past few years have been really great, but now that things are quieting down some, I want to come back to Pro Home Writers and continue helping writers.

Recently, I taught a class on atmosphere that went over really well and the process to building the class was so fun, I decided I’d do it again and again and again. Over the next few months, I’ll be self-hosting classes and workshops for writers. More details below!

May Classes and Workshop

This May, I’ll be doing two classes hosted by me on Troubleshooting Scenes and a Writing Fiction Workshop. The scene class is a focused lecture on what scenes are and how to fix the issues that plague most scenes. There will be exercises for writers to use on their scenes after class as well to help bridge the lecture with what authors are actually creating.

The fiction workshop is a small group workshop where 5 writers bring their work to be critiqued by me and others to better their stories. There is a Q+A section at the end of the workshop if there is time where authors can ask me questions about writing, editing, publishing, and more.

June Classes and Workshops

In June, I’ll be doing two more classes, Crafting Dialogue and another Writing Fiction Workshop. The dialogue class is a generative writing class where I’ll teach authors about common and uncommon dialogue issues before leading the class in several generative deliberate writing practice exercises that will challenge authors to grow.

The fiction workshop is the same as it was in May. People can sign up for multiple workshops and classes if they want.

July Classes and Workshops

July will also have two classes, Crafting Atmosphere and another Writing Fiction Workshop. The atmosphere class is a an extension of my regular atmosphere class that has more exercises, prompts, and time for questions. Learn how to control your story’s atmosphere by learning the line and narrative level techniques to build atmosphere.

The fiction workshop call is the same as previous months and focuses on live critique of stories to help writers get valuable feedback on their stories.

For authors who want to work on their craft with me directly, you can sign up through my website on my classes and workshops page.

More Classes

I’ve got additional classes coming up over the next few months through different venues that I’ll share more about once I have dates, times, and signup links.
