ONLINE: Short Story Workshop: One-Day Intensive (Limited Offering)
Adult Intensive | Available
This one-session workshop class is for fiction writers (new or long-term) looking to try out the workshop experience, get fresh feedback on their work, and make new connections in the process. Students will submit and read each other's work prior to class.
- Students submit their work to the group via email at least a week prior to class. Everyone reads and completes feedback forms (craft-focused, guided reading help) to prepare themselves for discussion. There is a hard cap on the number of participants due to the nature of the class.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
This class is held online through Zoom; learn more about how online classes work here
