This summer, let’s finish a story! This creative writing workshop is a fresh take on an old classic: a writing workshop with a focus on craft. Using examples from literature, we’ll examine what is working in several contemporary short stories then take a deeper look at our own work. Each writer will have the opportunity to participate in a workshop and will have the option to submit a full short story, the opening page, or a plot summary. Every class session will include: A detailed, guided warm up Story dissection Time for questions and brainstorming Suggested at-home reading and writing exercises This class is for beginner to more experienced writers, and we’ll adjust the schedule based on what topics we feel need more time.
