teaching
I regularly teach nonfiction courses online for students of all levels through Authors Publish and Writing Workshops. My students have gone on to publish their work in journals, magazines, and anthologies such as Agni, Guernica, Wired, and Best American Essays. Upcoming classes are as follows:
April 9–13, 2025, Destination Retreat: “Writing Workshops Santa Fe”
I’ll be the nonfiction instructor for the first annual Writing Workshops Santa Fe retreat! Three intensive days of workshops, craft seminars, one-on-one conferences, and discussions.
“Marin’s expertise in the craft of writing is stunning, elegant, and unselfconscious. She is an inspiring teacher. I learned more about creative writing during one session with Marin than I did from a semester of college-level courses.”
“Marin was instrumental to my growth as a writer. She took what I was interested in and used it as a springboard to craft lessons that pushed me and allowed me to practice different techniques and styles. Every time we wrapped up, I began counting down until the next meeting. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Marin Sardy really understands how to approach a subject that is complex, fragmented and surrounded by stigma. Writing about the brain and mental health is such a particular field with its own rules and parameters, and I found it very conductive to explore my writing in the safe space of writers who all had experience of mental illness in some way. I would strongly recommend it.”
