Fiction II
Begins on Wednesday, April 14
Description: This class will focus on workshopping student manuscripts while continuing to strengthen our writing craft. Students will delve deeper into elements of craft such as pacing, tension, building scenes and more.
Workshopping of student manuscripts will take center stage as students push their drafts further and begin the process of revision.
We will also consider the thoughts and writings of published authors, the narrative and story structure of fiction, and the feedback and support of our classmates.
In the workshop component of the class, you’ll share your work and receive critical feedback to help you move forward. You will also receive extensive instructor comments. Participants should have at least 10 pages ready to workshop when class begins.
StoryStudio classes are typically limited to 15 participants or fewer. This intimate setting allows for greater interaction and personal attention.
Who Should Attend: This course is for writers who have completed Fiction I or Creative Writing I, or the equivalent. If you’re not sure, just give us a call at 773.477.7710.
NOTE: This class may be used for Certificate Program students as one required workshop.
