The First Fifty Pages: Fiction Intensive

April 12 - June 28, 2025, Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (12 sessions)

$620

Bring an idea and see it blossom over the course of two seasons! In this fiction intensive, participants will generate an idea and develop it into either one or two long stories or the first 50 pages of their novel over the course of 12 weeks. Dive deep into the intricacies of character, plot, narrative structure, world building and literary voice while building a community of peers. Participants can expect to receive thoughtful and extensive feedback from the instructor and a one-on-one meeting in addition to the 12 class meetings.
