Revising the Short Story [Jeff Bender]

Time: 12:00am - 12:00am PT
Capacity: seat
Member Price: $355.50
General Price: $395.00

All Levels | This eight-week intensive focuses on active, practical ways to revise short fiction. Students will bring a draft to class, and we will discuss concrete tactics of cutting, expanding, and “listening to” the work, all aimed at striking the electric core of the story. We’ll also spend time working with some of the revision strategies outlined in Craft in the Real World, Matthew Salesses’ new book about challenging the traditional writing workshop.

Hugo House will only process refund requests that are submitted 5 business days or more before the class start date. To request a refund, log in to your account, go to “My Account,” select the “Orders” tab on the left-hand side, click the appropriate order, and request a refund for your specific class. Administrative fees apply. Please see our full refund policy here.

Class sessions may be recorded if a session falls on a holiday, or if a student has access needs. Class recordings are not guaranteed.

We do not tolerate racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, transphobic or any other oppressive behaviors, regardless of who commits them. Please check out our full community guidelines by clicking here. If an instance of community guidelines are violated and not resolved within the classroom, students may let us know by filling out the student incident report.

Classes may be cancelled if less than 5 students are enrolled within 10 days before the class start date. If for any reason Hugo House needs to cancel a class, students can choose between a full credit or full refund.
