Has your writing hit a plateau? Are you stuck in the murky middle? Or maybe you are sitting on perfectly competent stories that still feel like they're missing something? Or you know you've  been holding back? Remove the safety net in this high level course for the dedicated fiction writer. This month-long workshop  will explore strategies to increase the risk in our writing:  destabilizing, unsettling, and pushing our work closer to the line in an effort to excavate its most honest, urgent, and vital pulse.  This intimate, supportive live class on zoom will require active participation, with an accompanying asynchronous slack for prompts, craft materials and additional community discussion. Although there will be generative opportunities, the focus of this workshop is revision with an eye toward publication. Each student will have the opportunity to receive thorough oral and written feedback (on stories up to 20 pages) 2 times.

This class is currently sold out.
