| This writing workshop will introduce writers of all levels to the collaborative nature of workshopping. Writers will learn how to identify their core ideas and develop all aspects of plot, characterization, and storyline. The course is comprised of weekly in-class writing sessions, which highlight various elements of writing, and bi-weekly prompt- based assignments that allow writers to develop their own works of fiction, children’s writing, and memoir. Since no writer writes in a silo, stories will be shared in class and writers will critique, advise, and help each other to make the most of their endeavors. Students will discuss various works that resonate with him/her and learn how to implement aspects of these into his/her own writing samples. In addition, this course will introduce writers to Query letter writing and discussions will include various publications that look for certain types of fiction submissions. All writers must have a notebook and pen from day one. | |
