These sessions are for writers who have completed a short fiction manuscript (story or chapter) that they’d like to revise in the company of other experienced writers.
As a workshop member you’ll practice reading as a writer, refine your sense of what a story is, learn to thoughtfully give and receive creative feedback, and participate in intensive, focused discussions of your work. In workshop, you will discover how revision—normally a solitary experience—can be deeply communal.
Participants receive written feedback and an annotated copy of their manuscript from the workshop leader and each of their fellow writers.

Participants move together through the drafting process—experimenting with technique, honing skills, and learning to see the sometimes hidden structure of the story.
You’ll learn to animate character, shape plot, finesse dialogue, reimagine narrative, and calibrate voice with assurance. If you'd like to be among the first to hear about our next series of classes, please subscribe to our mailing list below.

These half-day sessions cover topics such as self-editing, how to balance imagination and discipline, and aspects of the writer-editor relationship. We're always thinking up new ideas and would be happy to develop a session for your group or organization. Let's talk!
