Description
Schedule

"The secret is out," writes Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. "To be a writer, you must write." In this class, that's just what we'll do, hitting the ground running to generate six new short stories of 300 to 1000 words. Each week, we'll practice inspiration, exploring plot, character, setting, language, and structure through a series of directed in-class exercises and homework assignments. Then, students will bring copies of their completed stories to each class, learning to share their work, give and receive constructive feedback, and look ahead to the revision process. Together, we'll experiment, play, and draft a wealth of fresh material, furnishing the basis for new shorts or longer pieces. Selected readings may include fiction by Aimee Bender, Juan Martinez, Lesley Nneka Arimah, and Steven Millhauser.
