Fiction Writing
Intensive workshop (suitable for beginner to advanced students)
Taught by:

Need inspiration? Feedback? A deeper bag of tricks for your writing? This class is for you! Learn how to grab your reader from the first page and create unforgettable characters in this workshop designed for the first-time novelist, short-story, memoir or script writer. Jump-start your muse and improve your craft through a series of writing exercises, workshop-style discussions, and reading assignments, as you learn to find and refine your unique voice and cultivate your creativity. In this course, you will have an opportunity to revise and tighten your narrative through workshop-style instruction where you will receive constructive feedback about your writing. Discover and develop your own artistic process, learning how to find your inspiration, develop concrete goals, and cultivate a sense of play in your writing. We will also look at several fiction pieces that allow for further exploration of voice, imagery, tone, characterization, structure, and language. Learn to develop the peaks and valleys, twists and turns that make for a compelling plot as well as chapter structuring for maximum effect. In addition, you'll learn about the market, what publishers and agents expect from you and your manuscript, and how to get published. Students can write short stories, memoirs, scripts, and mini-screenplays with the help of the instructor. Underlying all of your writing in this class is the goal of giving expression to the author within, one that is unique, compelling, and real.
