Short Story Fiction Writing
Adult Multi-Week | Available
Explore short story fiction writing by studying narrative craft elements like story, plot, character, scene, structure, archetypal patterns and dialogue. We’ll examine professionally published pieces and your own work. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to begin a story based on a word or an idea. You’ll also understand how to evaluate and revise your work.
- There will be homework: readings and writing. Students should have something to write with and on. There is no textbook. I will also be sending Word and PDF files regularly; if you don't have Word we can work through Google Docs.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
