ONSITE: Short Story Fiction Writing

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.

Special Notes

• 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.
  
  
  This is an On-site course. Students must follow current Covid-19 protocols, as outlined on our website. 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.
