Writing the Vignette
Vignettes are fun and satisfying "blips" of writing, which are generally considered prose but tend toward poetry. They don’t necessarily "go" anywhere but, when artfully roped together, have created some astonishing longer works, including The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and An American Childhood by Annie Dillard. This workshop examines and celebrates this small, vibrant unit of fiction. Fiction writers, memoirists, and poets who are looking to transition to prose are encouraged to register.
