Write This Way: A Generative Writing Class – canceled

This class has been canceled. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience.

Instructor: Jody Hobbs Hesler
$160 Members | $175 Nonmembers
Tuesdays, 10/11/22 – 11/29/22 | 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. EDT

Our in-class prompts will respond to published stories and essays we read for homework. Prompts may ask students to respond to a particular line of a given story or essay, to mimic a style or voice of the piece, to reimagine a scene or a character, to attempt a craft device that features prominently, etc. We’ll discuss how the published pieces work, as well as where the heartbeat is strongest in the pieces we write in response, preparing us to revise our in-class writing into finished works.
