Advanced Fiction

There's always more to learn, fiction writers! Come build on the skills you've already got, and dig deeper into the qualities that give all the best stories that extra POP.

Whichever genre of fiction you prefer (historical, fantasy, realistic, etc.) is welcome! We'll focus on the fine details that will take your writing from good to great: natural, character-driven dialogue; proper pacing; inciting incidents; raising the stakes; plot-twists; and, of course, the art of the satisfying ending. We'll look to our favorite fiction writers for inspiration, and discover new works worthy of your attention.

This workshop is for students who are familiar with the basics of fiction writing, and who would like to grow as writers.
