Workshop Description:

Do you want to write but have no idea where to start? Are you stuck with your story in need of new ideas? This class is for you.

In this three-part workshop, we'll explore the world with a writer’s eye. Each week, we'll read short stories/essays, discuss the craft of writing, and do writing exercises. By the end of the course, you'll have a handful of new story ideas and rough drafts to polish. 

Whether you want to write fiction or nonfiction, short or long stories, blog posts or feature length pieces, this course will give you the tools and the courage to realize your ideas with precision and grace.
