"The creative writing program at ACC is great. There’s nothing else like it around in terms of getting the kind of theory, craft knowledge and technique in a class setting that you do. Lighthouse Writers is great, but classes take place primarily in the workshop format. The ACC class format of workshop, theory and craft discussions is really a great compliment to that, and financially, it’s a great deal. A fifteen-week class that costs just $300 for continuing education? It’s just a steal."
- Bruce Randel, ACC Continuing Ed student and aspiring writer
