Through the magic of imagination, fiction takes us deep inside worlds and into the lives of characters. This online workshop course teaches students to recognize the qualities that make for spellbinding fiction, including the natural rhythm and tone, mapping the structure, and shaping the content.
The short story exemplifies a unique genre of writing. The workshop teaches the essential short story elements: sketching a story, creating a compelling opening, devising structure and plot twists, incorporating tension, implementing flashback and viewpoint, and mastering the art of dialogue.
Students learn techniques of crafting fiction, originating colorful characters, and developing ways of bringing imagination and intrigue into a literary work. Students will learn how their stories can be woven into unforgettable narratives. In addition to writing exercises, students will complete four short stories and receive feedback from Alaa Al Aswany and peers.
It is recommended that students take the Reading Fiction workshop with the Fiction and Short Story Writing workshop.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
