Craft Essentials: From Principles to the Page

This four-week course will focus on the fundamentals of prose craft across genres, including character development, plot, dialogue, imagery, and description. Our sessions will be a combination of craft discussion, using short excerpts from contemporary authors as examples, as well as custom guided exercises designed to push our skills on the page. Whether new to creative writing or an experienced hand, participants can expect to leave with a deepened awareness of essential craft and several new starts on material for later development.

Included in the tuition is a post-workshop written critique from the instructor, one that will offer detailed feedback and suggestions for revision on a sample of the student’s choosing.
