Claudine's Werd Nerdz

Welcome to Claudine’s Werd Nerdz!!

Looking to up your nerd game in 2026? Wanting to geek out with like minds?

Fret no more, dear ones.

For lo! Claudine sees you and your grammar-loving, dorky little hearts.

Join us for a new series—Claudine’s Werd Nerdz—where four glorious times a year

we shall gather via zoom to NERD SO HARD.

This series is the brain massage you’ve been craving!

Leave recharged and ready to WRITE.

How, exactly, will the nerding go down?

Each session, we’ll study one micro for one hour. Claudine EIC D.E. Hardy will lead a spirited discussion about structure and lexicon and grammar and punctuation and metaphor and dialogue and all the things. This series is highly interactive with a focus on helping each participant identify craft elements that matter to their writing. Plan on 45 minutes of deep, unabashed nerding and about 15 minutes of generative writing. (Ish.)

The calculous is fairly straightforward: 1 microfiction + 1 hour = happy nerdz

When will this nerding occur?

Four dates. Two live sessions each date. Pick your poison.

Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 7am PST (US) and again at 7pm PST (US)

Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 7am PT (US) and again at 7pm PT (US)

Who will love this series?

(Um, hello?) Nerdz.

Okay, but how much?

Each session is $14 USD.

BUT!!! if you get in quick (by Feb 1), you can get all four for $35 USD. (Let it be said: the early nerd catches the werm!)

This series is an absolute nerd farm but it's also a fundraiser for Claudine. All $$$ goes to paying our writers (and our interweb fees)!

A (very) limited number of freebie spots will open up about a week before each session based on class size. Details to come. (Preference given to those living outside the US, Canada, and Western Europe.)

How do I sign up?

Email eic@claudineliterary.com. Tell us the date(s) you want. Pay us. (PayPal or Venmo. We'll give you instructions.) Then, show up when it’s time to nerd. Easy peasy.

Let’s NERD this, humans!!!!!
