Course Catalog
Plot, Structure, and the Lyric Timeline
How do you build your story? What kind of scaffolding do you hang it from? How big should it be? What should you include? This class will provide you with concrete tools to map your fiction so that it feels like your own. We’ll explore techniques for identifying essential plot points and consider experimental structures and timelines. We’ll focus on making sure you are writing in ways that serve your themes, helping them resonate and shine.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
