Confidentiality Policy
Confidentiality is of utmost importance at Gertrude’s Writing Room. We acknowledge that all personal information offered/shared during classes/workshops is strictly confidential.
Writers will be asked to follow this confidentiality policy.
Critiquing & Feedback
During many of our classes and workshops, writers participate in intensive critiquing – including giving and receiving feedback on each other’s work, and the writing we are studying. Details on how to critique and etiquette during classes/workshops is given each time we engage in this manner.
We are committed to creating a safe yet vulnerable space for writers to learn and grow as writers who are able to not only write beautiful things but be beautiful humans as they share and learn from each other.
