Intermediate / Advanced | Writing historical fiction presents its own set of challenges. How much research is enough—or too much? How do we make the setting feel authentic? What do we owe the past? We’ll study excerpts from writers such as E.L. Doctorow, Toni Morrison, and Hilary Mantel, as well as interesting lesser-knowns, and through exercises and workshop, we’ll help each other craft compelling pieces of historical fiction. Students will have the chance to workshop a novel chapter or standalone story.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
