FICTION

Fiction Writing

Chris Ransick
It’s fundamentally human. We tell stories to ourselves and friends as a way of making sense of our experience in the world. But some people are compelled to go beyond this; they simply cannot avoid writing, and making fiction becomes a way of telling stories on a larger stage. If you’re one of those people, join this intensive exploration of the techniques and craft of fiction writing. This workshop focuses on critical discussion of your creative work as you seek to learn how to run a live wire into your fiction and electrify the reader. Please register 10 days before the class starts.
