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 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.
​
How, exactly, will the nerding go down?
Each session, we’ll study one micro for one hour. Claudine EIC D.E. Hardy will lead an active 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 in 2026.
Two live Zoom sessions each date: at 7 am PST (US) and again at 7 pm PST (US). Pick your poison.
Saturday, February 21
Saturday, May 16
Saturday, August 22
Saturday, November 14
Who will love this series?
(Um, hello?) Nerdz.
Okay, but how much?
Each session is $14 USD.
​
This series is an absolute nerd farm, but it's also a fundraiser for Claudine. All $$$ goes to paying our writers!
​
A (very) limited number of freebie spots will open up about a week before each session based on class size. Details to come.

Let’s NERD this, humans!!!!!
