These five short fiction writers will discuss their own approaches to short fiction craft\, celebrating the story for its beauty (in form and function)\, elegance\, and vibrant relevance to the contemporary literary community and canon.\n \nPresented in partnership with Mineral School.\n \nOffering a mix of artist residencies and public programs in a converted schoolhouse under the shadow of Mt. Rainier\, Mineral School nurtures literary\, performing\, and visual artists to generate new work and present that work to the public.
