IN PERSON: In this engaging and supportive course, we will explore the art and craft of writing short fiction through a mix of brief lectures, in-class writing exercises and thoughtful peer workshops. Each session will also include a discussion of a classic short story by a celebrated author — such as Mark Twain, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, Ernest Hemingway, Eudora Welty, Christopher Isherwood, James Baldwin, Tennessee Williams, Toni Morrison or Italo Calvino — read aloud to inspire our own writing. Participants will be encouraged to write weekly, sharing their work in a collaborative environment where we read, reflect on what we've read and offer constructive feedback to one another. The instructor will also provide detailed responses to each student’s writing. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to sharpen your skills, this course offers a welcoming space to grow as a writer and deepen your appreciation of the short story form. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
