Introductory 6 Sessions
6 Sessions This course will introduce students to the craft of fiction. Looking at published stories as our models, we will explore the essentials of storyline set-up, character development, point-of-view, setting, scene building, dialogue, and the appropriate use of detail. The class will include guided writing prompts corresponding to our discussion topic. The class will also include constructive workshopping. Students will be encouraged to explore and take chances. The workshops will give you feedback as well as a chance to practice reviewing others' work.
