Literature & Writing   

Good stories take readers on journey that is both emotional and imaginative, creative and structured. If you want to write, this course will invite you to explore your creativity and practice storytelling skills while introducing many of the concepts that underlie compelling fiction. In-class exercises (both collaborative and individual) will help you find and develop ideas and turn them into polished stories. Homework is optional (but can accelerate your progress). Open to both beginning and seasoned writers.

Have you always wanted to try your hand at creative writing? Do you have a few stories collecting dust in a drawer? Have you abandoned a story, novel, memoir, screenplay or stage play because you ran out of steam? Join this eight week workshop and be inspired to start, finish or continue a writing project. Gain confidence and learn discipline through discussions, sharing works in progress, camaraderie, in-class exercises, and fun!
