Short Fiction writing class

This course will cover the basics of writing short fiction. We will look at published stories and essays to explore how manipulations of conflict, plot, character, and voice give a writer control. Students will write short exercises and at least one story, which will be submitted to class for peer workshop. Assigned writers will include Edward P. Jones, Deborah Eisenberg, George Saunders, and Amy Hempel. Registration required. Call 296-1922.
