The 16-Week Prose Workshop

This longer-than-average course gives students an opportunity to deep-dive into the revision of their writing and develop thoughtful, supportive, critical responses when looking at others' work. Students will share their work multiple times, discuss craft issues (narration, character, scene development, pacing, etc.), while creating a strong community of writers. They will generate thirty or more pages of writing, which will receive extensive feedback and opportunity for revision. Stories, essays, and memoir and novel excerpts welcome!

Her most recent publications appear in Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies and Southern Women’s Review. Beth’s recent editing work includes being a “beta” reader for an author with a multi-book publishing contract, content and copy editing of a personal essay collection, and providing comprehensive editing services on an edited academic volume that was later published by Oxford University Press.
