In a clear, accessible manner, the course presents the fundamentals of plot, structure, voice, description, character development, point of view, and dialogue. Lectures and writing exercises are used to illustrate these concepts. You will also have the opportunity to present your work and receive feedback from your instructor and classmates. The goal is to write two short stories or to begin a novel and to acquire a firm understanding of all the basics of fiction writing.

In collaboration with Northern Public Radio, in connection with the Winter Book Series and the 2014 Fall Book Bites, with Katie Andraski, author of The River Caught Sunlight and G. K. Wuori, author of Infidelity.
