Advanced Fiction Workshop

This class is for fiction writers who have already made significant progress on novels, novellas, or short stories. This six-week workshop will offer in-depth guidance to students on their fiction writing projects. We will follow the traditional workshop model with two modifications. The first modification is that students will have the opportunity to share additional context about their projects and the level of feedback they wish to receive. They will also have the option of submitting outlines and ideas in the place of manuscript pages. The second modification is that there will be an extra emphasis on targeted feedback from the workshop leader. In our first class, we’ll get to know each other and our interests as fiction writers. Each student will introduce their project and highlight which aspects of fiction craft they hope to study during our workshop. In our subsequent classes, we will workshop two student submissions per session. Student submissions can be up to 5,000 words. After six weeks, each student will leave this class with a fresh perspective on their work-in-progress as well as insights into the art of fiction gleaned from our workshop discussions.
