This is an online workshop that takes place via Zoom.

This workshop is open to writers of all levels who are ready to enhance and revise a story draft.

Creating Fiction through Generative Revision

Emerging writers are familiar with the experience of a story that starts off strong and is a joy to write, but later becomes a labor that goes unfinished. This workshop will focus on techniques to deal with this loss of momentum. We have this idea that great work comes to other writers in one neat, complete package. It’s only through experience that we learn that the best writing is achieved with patience and intentional work through layers of thoughtful, generative revision. In this eight-week fiction workshop, we will strategically analyze works of published fiction and workshop our own stories in small groups as we work through a layered drafting schedule to bring to life a fully developed short story that is grounded in inspiration from life.
