About the Workshop
This course is designed to give experienced fiction writers - both novelists and short story writers - the opportunity to give and receive feedback on work in progress.
The course offers a model for workshopping in which participants will receive written comments from the group and instructor before their work is discussed in class. Instead of remaining silent, writers will be an active participant in the conversation about their work, with a focus on concrete revision options. Participants will receive craft essays, occasional writing prompts and relevant published short stories or novel excerpts via email that will inform our weekly discussions.
For advanced writers with prior workshop experience.
Admission by application, or permission of the instructor.
Limited to 8 writers.
