Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this fiction class:

Discover how to write your own story in short prose form. Study the techniques of seasoned authors and apply what you learn to carve out the sweep of your story: the beginning, middle, and end. Using in-class exercises, we’ll focus on character development, setting, plot, structure, and your own unique point of view and voice. Advice will also be offered on how to bring your story to the marketplace.

Note: Student is required to purchase before class: 12 Short Stories and Their Making, edited by Paul Mandelbaum. ISBN #978-0892553129, Persea Books. About $16.
