Anthologies

If you like fairies and monsters, epic battles and poisoned apples, there is no doubt you will LOVE Fairytales, Myths, and Fables. We're unraveling the stories we all know, learning about their origins, alt versions, and why they seem to have everlasting staying power in readers' minds.

We'll write our own original or adapted magical tales, add to spine-tingling myths, and put a new twist on fantastical fables. If you want to live happily ever after, this is the workshop for you!

What do K-Pop Demon Hunters, Star Wars, and The Hunger Games have in common? They all started as great ideas, that were turned into awesome stories, then into unbelievable movies. If you have a great movie idea, here's your chance to get busy writing it down. Make your story jump off the page and onto the screen!

We'll show you how to write a mini-script just like the professionals that includes scene headings, dialogue, transitions, and camera shots. You'll work with your fellow screenwriters to get and give suggestions as you all write the next summer blockbuster. Ideas for action, comedy, drama or anything in between are welcome! At the end of the session, you'll bring your film to life, acting it out with your classmates in front of an audience packed with your family and friends.

We’re calling on the brave and bold for a writing adventure! This semester we’ll be writing stories that have multiple choices for the reader - different storylines lead them down alternative paths or to alternative endings. We’ll take inspiration from a few examples like Jason Shiga’s "Meanwhile" and Ryan North’s "To be or not to be", then we’ll build worlds of our own. We’ll dig into key writing techniques and learn some new approaches while we forge our own way – whether it be fiction or nonfiction, the choice is yours. Which way will your adventure go?
