The Writer's Center: Online Short Fiction Workshop
I'll be leading an online workshop for the Writer's Center this winter/spring, starting in late February. Here's a description of what we'll be doing.
This is an online workshop for intermediate or advanced short-fiction writers who are looking to take their writing to the next level. Students will create two draft short stories, as well as several shorter pieces written to prompts that will expose students to new viewpoints, styles, or approaches. We’ll also read and discuss a variety of short fiction, all culled from recent literary magazines or story collections. Ideally, students will leave this course with a more complete knowledge of the current fiction landscape, traditional and experimental, online and off, and will have honed and expanded their writing skills. Please note: This is an on-line workshop, so you do not have to be at the computer at a specific time. $220 for writer's center members, $240 for non-members. 8 sessions.
Here's where you can sign up on the Writer's Center site.
Dzanc Creative Writing Sessions:
I'm one of the people you can choose to work with as part of the Dzanc Creative Writing Sessions. This is a very cool program from a great indie press that is doing things differently and really making shit happen. Here's what Dzanc says about the Sessions:
Dzanc Books is pleased to announce our newest program: the Dzanc Creative Writing Sessions. The DCWS is an online program that will allow writers to work one-on-one with published authors and editors to shape their short story/novel/poem/etc.
Sessions will be done via email, and the pricing structure will vary, determined by the time block you sign up for:
$20 for one hour
$30 for two hours
$50 for four hours
Dzanc has compiled a notable stable of great professional authors. From this list writers paying to participate in the DCWS may select an available author to work with. Writers will then have their work critiqued (the DCWS authors work at a pace of about 10 pages per hour) and can discuss in detail their writing and any other areas of writing in general they wish to explore with their DCWS author.
