CreativeLive class: A gift that keeps on giving
ETA: CreativeLive is closing shop, unfortunately. I saw notice of this last month. They will shutter their site on Dec 31, 2025. ITMT, they are letting existing customers download the library of classes they've purchased or earned over the years. Having taken a bunch of classes, it will take some time and additional storage to make sure I save all the video footage from my classes. I will always appreciate the time I spent online and IRL at CreativeLive's studio in SF where I was fortunate to learn from some wonderful and knowledgeable instructors. Thanks again for everything, CreativeLive Team. Aloha and best wishes on your next chapter! :)) Having been a student of CreativeLive since 2015, I can vouch for the level of dedication, excellent instruction and high production value of class content on a variety of topics. However, it is my most recent experience with the program that I write about. Since many institutions have created virtual learning outlets I still love my CreativeLive courses and found accessibility to them very important when it came to generating some of my new work (as a writer) in late 2021. Specifically, I was able to revisit and study key sections from the videos and materials from CreativeLive's class on memoir writing taught by bestselling author, Joyce Maynard. I'm thankful that I had Ms. Maynard's sage advice at my fingertips and not have to deal with online streaming since I owned the course and had it downloaded on my laptop. (This is possible only for purchased courses, and not subscription-based courses.) It's a part of my personal library that I will use again and again as I work to finish and edit my own memoir.
