DEVELOPING FICTION a six-week workshop in narrative prose

Six Mondays, 7:00 – 9:00 PM Feb 6, 13, 20, March 6, 13, 20 This is a workshop in prose fiction (it also accommodates memoir). I’ll begin each session with a craft talk based on published samples of prose, concerning various modes (flash, story, novel) and techniques (scene, dialogue, character, setting). I’ll devote the majority of each session to manuscript critique (three per session). Each participant will have work evaluated at least once. My workshop approach is grounded in a spirit of community, support, and encouragement, based on sensitive, honest critique. I consider the material that comes into workshop as in process, and I am committed to helping it along to its fullest, most effective realization. — Cost: $225 — Max: 15 participants
