Do you have an idea for a story but aren’t sure how to get it on the page? Our Fiction I/II class is perfect for writers looking to learn more about writing compelling fiction and generate new work.
In the first half of the session, students will generate new writing in and out of class with the aid of inspiring and informing writing prompts, then develop that work into “stories” or a section of a novel-in-progress. In the final weeks of the session, that work will be discussed in a supportive and craft-focused analysis that focuses on using a full range of literary techniques to engage the reader.
This workshop is open to writers working on short stories and/or novels and writers at all levels of skill and experience (and working on all genres of fiction) are welcome to join.
Kyle McCarthy is the author of the novels Everyone Knows How Much I Love You (Ballantine, 2020) and Immersions, forthcom
