SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Short Fiction [Live & Online]
DESCRIPTION:This interactive\, four-session workshop will explore the fundamentals of writing short fiction. Two hours a week\, we will explore a different element of style including: setting\, character development\, dialogue and description.\nEach class will begin with a conversation about style\, followed by a writing exercise addressing that day’s theme. Students will have an opportunity to share these exercises with the class. The prompts will be a fun way to exercise techniques discussed at the beginning of class and will hopefully spark ideas for future projects. \nStudents will be asked to submit a short piece of writing to the instructor prior to each class. \nIn the second half of each lesson\, everyone will read aloud from their submitted work and receive in-depth feedback from the instructor and their peers. \nWho Should Take This Workshop? \nThis workshop is open to all experience levels; it’s for anyone who’s interested in getting constructive feedback on works in progress\, finding inspiration for new projects through short writing exercises\, meeting fellow writers and hopefully making some friends. \nEva Crocker is a freelance writer based in Montreal\, her short story collection Barrelling Forward was a finalist for the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBTQ Authors. The collection won the Canadian Authors’ Association Emerging Writer’s Award and the Alistair MacLeod Award for Short Fiction. Her non-fiction work has appeared in Maisonneuve Magazine\, Border Crossings Magazine\, Hamilton Review of Books\, Visual Art News and Atlantic Books Today. Her debut novel All I Ask will be published by House of Anansi Press in June 2020. \nPlease Note \nLive and participatory\, these video conference workshops are limited to 4-8 participants\, to ensure everyone gets the most out of each session. Participants are expected to attend all four weekly sessions. \nFlexible Scheduling and Registration\nThree possible schedules\, to be confirmed: \nSchedule A: Mondays\, April 20\, 27\, May\, 4\, 11\, from 7 – 9 pm\nSchedule B: Fridays\, April 24\, May 1\, 8\, 15\, from 11 am – 1 pm\nSchedule C: Tuesdays\, April 28\, May 5\, 12\, 19\, from 3 pm – 5 pm \nUse the ticket link to pick your preferred schedule(s).
