Craving the support and structure to write short fiction? This workshop focuses on writing short stories — what makes them sing, what they're made of, the tools, elements and alchemy. You'll write every week and explore the visible and invisible: character, time, place, mood, intention, creativity, language. You'll read each other's work and support each other's efforts. Exercises and fun prompts will help you develop as a writer as you develop your stories.  

 This six-week course combines craft and camaraderie in a workshop setting. Come ready to work: to write, read, discuss, revise, investigate, and write some more. You'll gain more sureness and self-awareness as a writer, and a sense of how much is really packed into the short story form, whether it's 1 page or 12 pages long. And you may wind up with a piece of short fiction you love — ready for further development, to anchor your own collection, or for possible publication. Open to new students as well as those who have already taken the workshop and are looking to continue.
