Online Class - Starts Saturday March 14

Most of us will spend more time at home in the coming weeks. Here's something you can do for yourself-- a six-week online fiction writing course to add a sense of community, support, and continuity for your writing.


The Scene in Fiction
Six-Week Online Class
March 14 through April 18
Saturdays 2 to 4 Eastern Standard Time
Price: $275

We'll use the popular platform Zoom, which allows easy online meeting with video. It's simple and intuitive to use, either from your browser or the free app. We'll spend a few minutes getting comfortable at the start of the first class.

The focus of this writing class will be the scene. What is a scene in fiction? What are the elements of a good one? What different forms can scenes take? We'll read and discuss excerpts from stories and novels.

Each week, you'll send us, and read aloud via video, 1,500 words from your current work for discussion by the class. There will be an optional focus (e.g., opening scenes), but if you're moved to send something different, that's always fine too. The core of the class is sharing your work and listening and responding to others'.

Open to all levels. Your writing each week can be from a single work-in-progress, more than one, or from project/s you come up with during the course period.
