***DEAD-OF-WINTER SPECIAL EDITION FOR HOT-BLOODED HOMEBODIES NEAR AND FAR!!!
This wildly energizing workshop is dedicated to short prose of any kind: flash fiction, lyric essay, parable, fairy tale, dialogue, mini-play, whatever. The pace is brisk and the energy frenetic: you’ll be workshopped 3 times over the course of the 7-week class. No written feedback on the manuscripts themselves but expect generous, in-depth discussions of your work. Perfect for those looking to experiment with style, form, and voice—pure beginners, old hands, and the semi-seasoned all welcome. Stories originally hatched in this workshop have gone on to win literary prizes and are frequently published in prestigious journals—nice work, writers! Limited to 10 participants.
