Writing Workshop

On occasion visiting writers with a national profile will hold small, one-day classes usually focusing on both aspects of the writing craft and on the business of writing. Past instructors have included the novelists James Kelman, Janice Galloway, Ben Fountain and David Searcy. Students submitted manuscripts up to twenty pages in length for reading/comment by instructors, and all manuscripts were discussed and analyzed in class. Instructors led discussions on the business of fiction from getting an agent to selling books. Please see our above for upcoming offerings.
