Hybrid Workshop*
Whether you’re an old hand seeking fresh inspiration or a newcomer working on your very first short story, we’d love to see you in this workshop!
Rich is the author of 250+ stories; his work has picked up numerous accolades, and has been translated into over a dozen languages and adapted to screen. In this workshop, he distills fifteen years of professional experience into a wide-scope, step-by-step approach to brainstorming, writing, and revising short stories, then homes in on specific techniques and advice tailored to your individual goals.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how short stories come together, new tools in your toolkit, and a renewed zest for writing.
Sample topics:
- Gleaning ideas from life, music, art, fiction,
- Combining ideas, creating interesting juxtapositions
- Plotting
- Generating endings
- Differentiating characters
- Revision and submission
- Tips for the daily (or nowhere near) writing practice
