Deadline to Register: January 2, 11:59 pm
Writing is both an art and a craft. Sometimes writing can be spiritual, healing, an exuberance of creativity. The editing and crafting of words typically can feel just like work. But it's the work that provides rewards. Through careful examination of participants’ writing, this workshop will help you hone your craft and ready your writing for publication. You can look forward to engaging class discussions on the craft of fiction and how to strengthen your writing through close reading and self-editing. The majority of class time will center on the critique and analysis of student work; accordingly, every participant is expected to share a piece of their writing (up to 12 double-spaced pages) for the class to read and edit. The last class will allow each student the opportunity to share their work with a public audience.
