OUR FEE OPTIONS

We’re experimenting with a sliding scale fee model, allowing for the Writer’s Way events to be offered at multiple price points based on your financial circumstances.

For it to work, we’re relying on principles of truthfulness and accountability.

Teachers deserve to be paid and course participants deserve to attend personal development courses which recognise the multiple reality of economic access and privilege that exist.

Fee option 1 is a reduced rate for those whose budget genuinely cannot accommodate option 2.

Fee option 2 represents the fair and true cost of the course.

Fee option 3 is for those who are able to pay for themselves and pay extra towards making it possible for another person to attend a LRC writing course at a nominal rate.
