Everything Happens at Once: Your Page One

In this fiction-writing workshop, we will get our stories to hit the ground running by working on our Page One. Short story or long-form fiction, all the elements of narration are thrown into play right away on the first page (okay, maybe a little on the second). The themes and problems of the piece are all present, stated or suggested, sometimes hidden. We will learn to do that: get out of the starting blocks fast, leaving our anxieties behind.

The Very Short Story: Reading and Writing Fiction of 300 to 1000 Words

In this class we will be reading and discussing a wide variety of very short stories, from  contemporary writers and writers of the past. We will be reading as writers: seeking inspiration, and looking at what these stories are doing and how they achieve their ends. What makes a story a story? What can be left out? What is the effect of omission?
