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!

Sometimes images speak louder than words, but what kind of impact can you create if you put them together? In From Flash to Fiction, we’ll explore the writing of, from, and alongside the images that speak to us. Together, we'll wonder about how to bring images to life with our words and sharpen our imaginations by playing in the crosshairs of writing and photography. Using photos we take ourselves or ones we find through research, we’ll find inspiration for short stories.

This class will also include a field trip to the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection. Every writer will have the chance to look through their vast collection and write something they love based on their discoveries!

If you can’t wait to turn the page, the writer has succeeded in telling you a great story. What does it take to develop characters, settings, dialogue, and plot elements that have you on the edge of your seat? This workshop answers those questions and more! We’ll breakdown the parts of fiction writing each week and test out what we’ve learned with some on-the-spot writing. You’ll work with your peers, too — giving advice and feedback, while hearing what they have to say about your work.

Not only does this workshop make you a better writer, but when you understand the process, it makes you appreciate your favorite writers even more. Don’t leave us on the edge of our seats — register now for this workshop!
