Called simply "write.", the course is a helpful introduction for those wishing to participate in the new courses and groups FAWWA is offering in 2010. Karen Dixon writes fiction, freelance commercial writing and teaches high school workshops. She insists, "Many of us learned at school that writing is boring and hard work. This course is about discovering that writing can be fun, an adventure."

Winner of Best Actress for Helen Mirren at the Rome Film Festival, this is Michael Hoffman’s account of novelist Leo Tolstoy's struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things. Young idealist Valentin (James McAvoy) is sent to assist the aging Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) on his grand estate where he lives with his wife Sofya (Mirren), his family and a band of Tolstoyan followers. Witnessing a battle over Tolstoy’s legacy between Sofya and follower Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), Valentin cannot help but question the true meaning of his leader’s teachings.
