Bojangles Creative Writing
One-on-One Writing Lessons
Bojangles offers one-on-one writing lessons for all ages and skill levels.
Each session is customized to the needs and goals of each student. Possible focuses include English Language Arts (ELA) tutoring, college admissions essay help, and personalized creative writing workshopping.
Together, we cultivate creativity, develop communication skills, and explore not just how to write well, but why writing well in the dawn of ChatGPT and AI-fueled essays still matters.
About Your Instructor
Elisabeth Carroll Parks is a writer, editor, and teacher.
After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Elisabeth moved to Nashville, where she worked at Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) for seven years, ultimately serving as director of editorial. During her tenure at BMI, Elisabeth also earned her M.A. in English literature from Belmont University.
Since then, Elisabeth has written bios for Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and indie darlings, contributed to respected publications, and more.
The addition of writing classes is a natural step for the Bojangles family.
Our founder Shawn Parks’ wife, Elisabeth Carroll Parks, has worked as a writer and editor for the past two decades, and has mentored other writers along the way.
Creative writing courses at Bojangles Music School will embrace the same attitude as our award-winning music lessons: An emphasis on fundamentals and finding the joy in creating underscores everything we do. We also believe art is primarily for its maker. To put it another way: Art has universal value derived from the making of it––not in its audience reception or perceived perfection. That doesn’t mean we won’t strive to make something great. It just means we immediately gain so much as soon as we try.
