Writing Workshops LA: Fiction II

Fiction II (taught by Kate Maruyama in Glendale)

Wednesdays, 7:00 to 9:00 pm
July 27, 2016 to September 14, 2016

This eight-week intermediate level class is designed for both short story writers and novelists. This class will cover the tools of fiction writing such as characterization, scene, voice, tense, dialogue, point of view, and progression. In class, students will discuss published fiction from a craft perspective and do writing exercises designed to tackle specific techniques within their own work. For the last six weeks of the course, students will be workshopped in a serious environment meant to challenge and inspire every member of the class. Each student will have the opportunity to workshop at least 25 pages of short story or novel manuscript. There will be one short take-home assignment every week and students will be required to read their fellow students’ work in advance.

This class will take place in Glendale, where wine and sparkling water—and the occasional gourmet cheese—will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
$390 for new students; $350 for returning students. (Payment plans available to returning students.)
