Advanced Fiction Workshop
Begins Wednesday, May 19
Have a story or novel ready to share with a welcoming audience? Struggling with a piece and needing some direction?
StoryStudio offers this ongoing workshop for intermediate and advanced writers who need clear and structured critiques to improve their work. Facilitated by Jill Pollack, each session focuses on workshopping student manuscripts to highlight what’s working and where the opportunities are. Specific comments will be offered for writers to consider during the revision process. And of course, we’ll talk about storytelling elements such as voice, character, narrative arc and more.
We’ll meet every other week, leaving writers lots of time to, well, write.
This course is limited to 12 students. Participants should have up to 25 pages of a manuscript to workshop and previous workshop experience.
Who Should Attend: This course is designed for those with experience writing and exposing their work in a writing workshop environment. To assure that workshop students are in the class that will be the best fit, we ask that prospective students contact us to send in up to 10 pages of a working draft. StoryStudio will then contact you to determine if the Advanced Fiction Workshop or Fiction II, Writing the Novel, or Writing the Short Story would be best.
