Shapes of Stories [Waverly Fitzgerald]

All Levels | The shape of a story is more than just the way it is told—changing the shape changes the story. We’ll explore popular shapes for stories including braids, collage, the traditional narrative arc, the circle, and the frame through in-class writing exercises, homework assignments, and examples from creative nonfiction and fiction. A writer could end this class with five different versions of the same initial story or five different stories.
