Close Reading and Imitation: A Generative Workshop
$340
Let’s read great short stories and then learn through imitation. We will look closely at stories and what they do well (dialog, relationships, family, the unknown) and make our own attempts through homage. Each week, you will begin a new story based on our readings. We will share our attempts with one another and, within these imitations, suss out one another’s writerly strengths. Expect to come away with six new story starts.
Access Program
We want our writing classes and seminars to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and seminar tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.

Liaison position
Every in-person class and seminar at Literary Arts has one liaison position. Liaisons perform specific duties for each class meeting. If you are a liaison for a class or seminar, the full amount of your tuition is covered by Literary Arts.
