This course will instruct participants in the ways they can produce stories that will catch the eyes of literary journal editors. Most weeks will be spent in graduate-style format, with rigorous workshop sessions and the exploration of supplemental readings. By the end of the course, participants should expect to develop their critical reading skills as well as fiction writing that can compete for space in print and online publications. Admission by instructor?s permission. Please submit 10 to 15 pages to laura.spencer@writer.org by January 30. Please do not pay the workshop fee before your application is accepted.
