Course Description

This course is the second step in the short fiction stream of the Certificate in Creative Writing. It's a workshop for budding writers with short stories to share and improve. Class time is split between instruction on the basic elements of fiction - plot, character, point of view and language - and short, timed exercises that summon inspiration and cut through writer's block. You'll get lots of focused, constructive feedback on your writing in a friendly and supportive environment and emerge with two polished stories.
