Class Description
A competitive, accessible – and repeatable – MFA-level course, spanning 6 months, for ten short story writers who want to move their stories from “workshop good” to publishable quality. The class focuses on deep revision, a comprehensive, craft-based study of the story form, and offers a thoughtful introduction to the publishing market.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
