These 5-week workshops are open for all those interested in the art of the short story and/or memoir/autobiography/auto-fiction writing–these workshops are a mix between the genres. It will consist of three parts: a) a weekly reading from a supplied reading list, which we will use to discuss the different elements of craft in terms of narrative, structure, genre, tone, narrator, character and theme; b) a weekly in class writing exercise based on the weekly reading; and c) workshopping of participants’ own short pieces with a strong focus on completion so that at the end of the course each student will have 1-2 finished stories.
We focus on readings from historically marginalized writers and work on creating a safe space for people to share their work and engage with the work of others in these workshops. These workshops are not for those interesting in being part of the status quo.
