Short Story: Take Two!

$340

Ideal for writers of short fiction and all levels, this fast-paced class will work on two drafts of the same short story to refine and review all the elements of craft, including character, tone, voice, and subtext from several different perspectives.

Participants can expect to generate two drafts of a 10–20-page short story and receive extensive feedback from the instructor on both drafts.
