In this six-week course, we’ll study different aspects of the craft of writing fiction, using both the work of published authors and our own projects in process.

We’ll analyze one published short story and workshop two student submissions every class (except for our first session). Participants will give and receive thoughtful feedback and constructive criticism on each other’s work in a nurturing, safe space. Our focus will be on exploration, experimentation, and talking through our work with other writers, with the aim of helping you make your writing the best version of itself.

Participants will leave with both a clearer sense of their craft and a keener eye for identifying how (and to what effect) other writers use these same tools.

Course Outline:

Flash Fiction & Structure
Plot v. Story
POV & Voice
Dialogue
World-Building
Endings

Teaching Style: My teaching style prioritizes accessible, generative prompts and group discussion. Students can expect to take away new strategies for creating and sustaining new projects—and plenty of new pages.

Level: Introductory

This course is held online via Zoom.
