Every component of this workshop takes place in class: craft discussion, writing, editorial feedback, revision (with the option to begin second or third pieces) and advice on where to go with what you’ve produced. Participants may wish to come in with an idea or two they’d like to work on in class, or they may decide to work extemporaneously, based on our writing exercises targeting character work, persuasive scene building, and plot; this model allows for both methods. Writers of all backgrounds and career stages will receive serious, creative, and enthusiastic advice on their work. An intensive drill in directed spontaneity, this course is a way to get as much as possible out of a class without the obligation to commit to preparatory work. You need nothing but to come ready to write and respond.
