Liz offers private mansucript consultation
to help you bring your short stories and creative essays to fruition. She will give your piece several in-depth reads, and offer constructive feedback on the macro level (structure, plot, characters, etc) and the micro level (sentences, language). This is an efficient and intimate approach to helping you achieve your writing goals.
A good short story keeps readers engaged long after the last
word. In this craft-oriented workshop, we'll critique your short fiction in
progress, and give close readings to work by modern masters of the form.
Whether you're a novelist, memoirist, journalist or good ole' short story
scribe, this class will make you a better writer by strengthening your
understanding of character, scene, and the ever-elusive story arc. We will use
the literary story as our guide, but all genres are welcome.
Time: Wednesdays, 7-9pm
Dates: September 14 - October 12
Location: Attic Institute, 4232 SE
Hawthorne Boulevard
Flash prose is exploding in
popularity in our short attention span society, but that doesn't mean it can't
be packed with emotional resonance and evocative language. In this workshop,
you'll learn how to tell a meaningful story - true or imagined - in less than
1000 words. We'll discuss published examples of flash fiction & nonfiction,
create new work using writing prompts, and examine your work-in-progress in a
fun and supportive workshop format. Short-shorts are a perfect way to sharpen
your storytelling skills, whether you want to write micro-fiction, a memoir, or
a novel. They're also an excellent avenue for new writers to break into
publishing for the first time.
