Fiction Workshops

A workshop devoted to the very complicated task of writing fiction. Includes some assignments on building characters, building worlds, developing dialogue, and building plots organically. You can be in the middle of a big project, or at the very beginning of a small one. These classes will be kept super small so we can get into the specifics of your project and explore them together. Includes plenty of personalized feedback and support, and weekly deadlines for writing.

STARTS FEB 3rd, 2025

WHAT EACH UNIT OF THIS WORKSHOP CONTAINS

• A one hour Zoom meeting on Monday evening each week for six weeks.

• A discussion of an important aspect of writing, including a colorful slideshow.

• An assignment to be worked on through the week and turned in by Saturday night.

• Discussion of how the previous assignment went.

• Access to the Wet Ink portal for our class, which includes the assignments, recordings of the classes, and a place where students can give and receive feedback.

• One of the unique aspects of these workshops is that I participate as a student too. I tackle the assignment along with everyone else, and that keeps me connected to the struggle.

UNIT ONE // DIALOGUE

Everyone’s least favorite part of writing is exactly where I believe fiction should begin. Dialogue is not something to be added at the end, but rather a truth-teller, a way to learn about characters, about a world, about yourself. It will end up being your favorite part of writing and unlock so many mysteries.
