Class Description

Whether you want to expand your knowledge, experiment with new forms, or just produce fresh work, this fun, intensive class will give you the opportunity, over six weeks, to begin six new short stories and/or write six new pieces of fiction that might become part of a longer work. Each meeting will center on directed, in-class writing exercises and prompts for at-home drafting; over the course of our time together, we'll also share our work with one another for encouragement and feedback. In order to inspire and guide us, we'll read contemporary, published stories from authors such as Lydia Davis, Carmen Maria Machado, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, using their words to spark discussions of topics such as plot, form, character, setting, language, and theme.
