SUMMARY:Risk Management: Writing the Scene That Will Make or Break Your Story
DESCRIPTION:The late great author Dorothy Allison famously advised us all to “write to our fear.” Often\, though\, that brave act results in scenes and lines that reveal ourselves in ways that may make us cringe. We are tempted to cut or sanitize those moments\, but I’m here to ask if our stories and poems can be great – or even very good – if they don’t take some sort of calculated risk\, whether that risk be such a revealing scene or a disruptive image\, turn\, or shift in style. Furthermore\, once the text does take that risk\, can it ultimately be about anything else? How do we identify the “points of no return” in our work\, and how do we maximize their impact? We will begin by defining different types of risks fiction writers and poets take in their work and then discuss how the authors of various texts have managed and mitigated them. The goal is help us assess not only whether to take big chances in our work\, but when and how. Over the course of the hour\, we will discuss work by authors up and down the “risk” spectrum: Hanya Yanagihara\, Andre Aciman\, Sharon Olds\, Albert Goldbarth\, and Lucia Berlin\, among others. \n\n\n\nThere is no advance reading for this workshop\, but please come prepared to talk about a scene or “move” in one of your works of fiction or poetry that you consider “risky” or at least about which you have some anxiety or uncertainty. If nothing comes to mind\, please come prepared to discuss a work-in-progress that might benefit from a shake-up as a way of raising the stakes. \n\n\n\nChristopher Castellani is the author of four novels\, most recently Leading Men\, for which he received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, MacDowell\, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, among others. His book of essays on narration\, The Art of Perspective: Who Tells the Story\, is taught in many writing workshops. Christopher is a longtime member of the faculty of the Warren Wilson MFA program and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference and a recent Writer-in-Residence at Brandeis University. For his forthcoming novel\, Last Seen\, he was awarded a 2024 Literature Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Boston and Provincetown\, MA.

SUMMARY:Novel Essentials: The Art & Craft of Long-Form Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Have you had an itch to write a novel\, but haven’t known how to tackle such a large project? Now is the perfect time to dust off your ideas! This workshop is a boot camp for budding writers eager to turn their novelistic dream into a reality. From iron-clad structures and story tropes to the ins-and-outs of how character motivation pushes a great plot\, this 10-week intensive workshop will impart professional tips and tricks-of-the-trade essential to bringing long-form fiction to life. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will focus on practical knowledge not covered in a typical writing workshop: initial idea development; a deep dive on novelistic structure; how to build the perfect plot; character development and motivation; scene development; and how to handle secondary and tertiary characters\, to name a few. Each week\, you will learn one or more essential techniques and/or theories\, as well as participate in short\, practical exercises that will help you build your novel. As you master the elements\, you will have opportunities to develop and workshop your original novel concepts. \n\n\n\nWhile an emphasis will be placed on long-form writing\, all writers looking to master essential elements of fiction writing are encouraged to attend. You do not require prior workshop experience or an idea for a novel to take this workshop. Participants interested in developing fiction of all kinds are more than welcome! \n\n\n\nL. E. Sterling (Erin Vollick\, also published under L. E. Vollick) is the author of numerous novels spanning contemporary\, Young Adult\, fantasy\, science-fiction\, dystopian and romance genres. Her hit series\, the True Born Trilogy\, was optioned for television\, and True Born\, the first novel in the trilogy\, was recognized internationally with the 2017 Athena Award® in Young Adult literature. With a B.A. and M.A. in Creative Writing and a Ph.D. in Literature\, Sterling taught creative writing and literature for many years. She has appeared at BookCon NYC\, the LA Times Festival of Books\, and Ad Astra.

SUMMARY:Craft Meets Magic: The Alchemy of Short Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Is there an art form more maddening than the short story? Demanding the complexity of a novel\, the lyricism of a poem\, and the economy of a joke\, the work is tedious and the rewards  (for most of us) are slim. Still\, for us cursed few\, the short story is an addictive nut to crack. After all\, there’s little more thrilling than the prose of a writer who can do more with a handful of pages than most can do with 300. The complexity of a novel! The lyricism of a poem! The economy of a joke! \n\n\n\nJoin us\, if you dare\, for an 8-week workshop where participants will share and critique each other’s work with an eye towards craft. Specifically\, we will ask ourselves questions like\, “What are characters made of?” “How is a plot built?” “Do I really need to describe everything?” \n\n\n\nEqually important to studying these questions will be putting them aside\, as we celebrate and cultivate the magic that makes art artin the first place–that intangible whatever that defines our passion for fiction. After all\, what else do we have to keep us warm as we trudge through draft to draft? \n\n\n\nAs time allows\, we’ll also read stories by published authors like ZZ Packer\, Donald Barthelme\, Jhumpa Lahiri\, Joy Williams\, and George Saunders. Participants will be asked to read and prepare responses to a short story (distributed from me by email) prior to our first meeting. \n\n\n\nFrankie Barnet is the author of Mood Swings (McClelland & Stewart)\, which was a finalist for the Grand prix du livre de Montréal; Kim: A Novel Idea (Metatron); and An Indoor Kind of Girl (Metatron). Her work has appeared in places such as PRISM International\, EVENT\, Joyland\, The Erotic Review\, and Biblioasis’ Best Canadian Short Stories Anthology. She has an MFA from Syracuse University and lives in Montreal.

SUMMARY:So You’ve Written a Novel – Now What?
DESCRIPTION:The first time I typed THE END on a manuscript\, I didn’t know what to do next. There’s a lot of information and encouragement on HOW to write a book\, but not a lot on what to do after you’ve written the thing. And the advice you find online can be woefully misleading\, confusing\, or at its very worst —fraudulent. \n\n\n\nThis 8-week workshop aims to fully lay out the roadmap to traditional publishing for someone who’s finished\, or is close to finishing a fiction manuscript. The journey of getting your story from your laptop to an actual book you can pick up at Indigo follows a very specific series of steps. From landing an agent\, to signing with a publisher\, to contract details\, this course will take you\, in minute detail\, through every step\, with a centerpiece intensive workshop formulating your all-important Query Letter\, along with details on crafting your logline and your pitch kits. \n\n\n\nDesigned for absolute newbies to the world of publishing\, this workshop will offer you tips and tactics to maximize your chances at every step\, and by its end you should have the knowledge and confidence to approach this perilous enterprise knowing exactly what you need to do next. Because typing THE END is only the beginning. \n\n\n\nThere is no submission required prior to the first session\, but participants will be expected to write loglines and query letters and share them with the group as the workshop progresses. They will also be expected to read and critique each other’s work. \n\n\n\nToronto-born\, Montreal-based writer and illustrator Sherwin Sullivan Tjia has written many odd and eclectic books. Their 2005 collection of pseudohaikus\, The World is a Heartbreaker\, was a finalist for the Quebec Writers’ Federation’s A. M. Klein Award. Their 2010 graphic novel\, The Hipless Boy\, was a finalist for the Doug Wright Award for best emerging talent\, as well as being nominated for 4 Ignatz Awards. Their 2011 Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style book from the POV of a housecat entitled You Are a Cat! won that year’s Expozine Award for best English-language book. Their latest graphic novel entitled Plummet is about a woman who wakes up one day to find herself in literal\, perpetual freefall. It was optioned for animation and named one of CBC Books’ “Top 20 Graphic Novels of 2019.”

SUMMARY:Make It Make Sense: Writing Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Writing a story about something that really happened seems like it should be easy: after all\, compared to something like fiction\, a lot of the work is already done for you. You already know what happens! But as anyone who has attempted to make art about their own life and experience can attest\, the practice can feel a lot more complicated when you actually get down to it. Life doesn’t always make sense — but a good story has to. \n\n\n\nLed by Tara McGowan-Ross\, the author of the Hilary Weston Prize-shortlisted memoir Nothing Will Be Different\, Make It Make Sense is a workshop that engages directly with the complicated questions that can impede creativity when writing about real life. What makes memoir different from other kinds of nonfiction? Why does writing about yourself honestly so often feel like lying through your teeth? What are the ethics of writing about other people? And what gives me the right\, in our complicated global environment\, to take up space telling my own story at all? \n\n\n\nThis workshop aims to foster a sense of confidence and capacity in a genre that is both highly marketable arts entertainment and powerful personal reflective practice. Participants will be asked to think critically about memoir from the perspective of both writer and reader in a discussion-based environment that features short lectures\, collaborative dialogue\, peer editing\, and revision to foster a sense of ease in one of the most fraught and risky modes of self-expression. \n\n\n\nMake It Make Sense is designed for writers of all skill levels who feel they are psychologically blocked in their memoir-writing practice. Participants will be encouraged to develop a solid foundation of confidence and understanding so that they can live with the sense of uncertainty (or even danger) that often makes this genre so challenging and exciting. Participants will be required to write a short piece for peer editing and workshop with their cohort and encouraged to revise that same piece based on feedback. Not all revised pieces will be workshopped.

SUMMARY:Listening for the Poem
DESCRIPTION:This workshop engages poetry through a listening practice. \n\n\n\nListening shifts attention away from prosaic sense-making and toward poetic meaning-making. Through listening\, we can quiet our inner editorial voice\, make unexpected leaps of thought\, create new patterns of association\, and attune to the fullness—the timbre\, tone\, and sway—of any given moment. \n\n\n\nDeveloping a listening practice also carves out dedicated time\, space\, and attention for writing. Listening permits an encounter between you and your voice\, which emerges when you do not self-consciously construct it. Listening halts self-critical chatter\, allowing you to tune in to your natural rhythms\, embodied knowledge\, and inner language. \n\n\n\nYou will be invited to engage in a directed listening experience\, on your own time\, before each workshop. During this experience\, you will compose the poems that will be brought into workshop\, which will be spent reading new poems aloud and providing feedback on one another’s writing. The idea is that you will bring in new work during each session to share\, with writing taking place on your own time. Consequently\, this is a writing-intensive workshop. Short readings and audio files will be assigned\, and participants will need a recording device for one exercise (phone is OK). \n\n\n\nThe workshop will fully engage the intellect and life experiences of all the writers in the room as we talk shop about craft\, poetics\, and more. New work is privileged to demonstrate the limitless potential we have within us to create poetry—the potential to hear poetry in everyday life. \n\n\n\nJay Ritchie is an English PhD candidate at McGill University and holds an MFA in Poetry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is the author of Listening in Many Publics (Invisible Publishing\, 2024)\, which was a finalist for the QWF’s A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry\, and Cheer Up\, Jay Ritchie (Coach House Books\, 2017). He has taught creative writing at UMass and Bishop’s University. His writing and music have appeared in Maisonneuve\, SAND\, on CBC Radio One\, WMUA Amherst\, Frozen Section Radio\, at the PHI Centre\, and he performs expanded poetry readings using portable cassette players and field recordings.

SUMMARY:Don’t Quit Your Day Job…Yet: Freelance Writing for Print and Internet

The instructor will set a main homework assignment\, to be reviewed before it’s submitted for publication: \n\n\n\n\nA third-person profile\, based on an interview\, which describes an interesting person\, their occupation and achievements.\n\n\n\n\nor \n\n\n\n\nA researched\, first-person narrative analyzing a subject of topical interest.\n\n\n\n\nSessions will cover all aspects of choosing\, planning\, pitching\, writing\, and editing the article. \n\n\n\nParticipants enrolling in this workshop should have a clear idea why they want to write\, what they want to write\, and for whom. They should also consider whether they intend to sell their writing to external outlets\, give it away\, or use it for personal\, career/business development. \n\n\n\nWorkshop schedule \n\n\n\nWeek 1 \n\n\n\n\nCourse introduction\n\n\n\nOvercoming writer’s block and generating story ideas\n\n\n\nChoosing the right topic at the right time\n\n\n\nDifferences between print and online writing\n\n\n\n\nWeek 2 \n\n\n\n\nAnalysis of techniques\, tone\, and content of publications\n\n\n\nInverted pyramid writing\n\n\n\nResearching and selecting relevant material\n\n\n\nSearch engine optimization\n\n\n\nOnline vs print reading patterns\n\n\n\n\nWeek 3 \n\n\n\n\nWriting catchy leads\, headings\, and subject lines\n\n\n\nBasic writing structures\n\n\n\nShow don’t tell – writing for the senses\n\n\n\nSimiles\, metaphors\, allusions\, and other writing devices\n\n\n\nCutting jargon and superfluous words\n\n\n\n\nWeek 4 \n\n\n\n\nInterviewing techniques and psychology\n\n\n\nTurning an interview into a profile\n\n\n\nUse of quotations\n\n\n\nChoosing a publication for your article\n\n\n\nPitching stories\n\n\n\n\nWeek 5 \n\n\n\n\nWorking with editors\n\n\n\nBuilding your network\n\n\n\nCaption writing\n\n\n\nSourcing\, choosing\, and editing pics\n\n\n\nTravel writing\n\n\n\n\nWeek 7 \n\n\n\n\nWriting as a business\n\n\n\nQuoting for jobs\n\n\n\nTax and invoice issues\n\n\n\nMarketing\n\n\n\nSelf-publishing\, hybrid publishing\n\n\n\n\nWeek 8 \n\n\n\n\nCourse review \n\n\n\nPreparation to submit workshop article for publication
