Events, Classes, and Seminars

In this generative writing class, we will explore meaning via the mortal body—the foundation of what it means to be human—as a fruitful landscape for creative reflection, risk-taking, and art making.

Are you writing a novel? Do you want company? Writing a novel is an intensive and often lonely experience. This course brings novel writers at all stages of the process together to support each other for 8 weeks. From first draft through revision, this course is a weekly check in, a community gathering, a discussion group, an accountability buddy, a toolkit, a troubleshooting session, and a place for us to talk about our novels and writing processes.

This course for dedicated writers is designed to guide you through the writing and/or revising of your novel. It runs from September through May. Some weeks you’ll have craft assignments to complete outside of class, and other weeks we’ll do in-class exercises together. After the first month of meetings, two students will workshop each week. Students should be prepared to read and comment on up to 50 pages of their classmates’ work each week, in addition to keeping up with their own writing.
