Are there course materials?

Yes. The coursebook is included in the tuition.

The hardcopy coursebook is a required text for participating in the seminar. Professor Garner works heavily from the book during the class. If you don’t have it with you, you will be lost from the beginning. Writing exercises and other exercises require you to work in the book.

Coursebooks are sent out two weeks before your scheduled seminar date via FedEx or USPS. 

We’ll link your email address to the FedEx notifications and also send you an email with the FedEx details. If your book is going out by USPS, we’ll send you the Priority Mail tracking information.

Address-verification email

We’ll send out an address-verification email 13 calendar days before your seminar date. This will have the shipping address from your registration form. If you’d like to change this, please respond to the email ASAP so we can ensure the book is shipped to the best address for you.

If we ship the book to the address provided in your registration and you it is the wrong/old address for you and you did not provide corrected information in a timely response to the address-verification email, there is a $350 fee to get a new coursebook out to you to the corrected address while we try and retrieve the other book. Unfortunately, refunds or switching to self-paced seminars are not options if the coursebook was shipped to the address provided in your registration and it is a(n) wrong/old address for you and you choose to not pay the book-replacement fee.

There will be a sticky note on the coursebook’s cover that reminds you to have the book with you for the seminar. To put it simply: no book, no seminar.

We make this point in seminar-related emails hoping to avoid the morning-of panic of participants not having their books and being lost from the beginning of the class.
