Fee: $150 suggested donation (No one turned away for financial reasons; there are multiple options at checkout.)
Enrollment is limited to 8 participants. A continuation of reading short pieces to discover what makes them work. We’ll read just one short piece a week—short story or lyric essay. Classes will consist in 1 hour or so of discussion of specific elements related to the week’s reading: voice and narrator/point of view, character development and setting, language and syntax, and dramatic movement; and 1 hour or so of writing exercises and discussion and reflection on those.
Enrollment is limited to 8. Once you have registered you will receive a copy of the reading list.\

After time out for work on her own projects and then that darned Covid hiatus, she is eager to get back into the beautifully reno’d GWC space to share ideas and creative energy. She holds an MFA in fiction, has several publications under her belt and a couple of awards, and has made successful forays into 10-minute play writing and creative non-fiction as well.
