Intermediate/Advanced Fiction Class

Are you almost ready to commit to a piece of work but need help deciding what you want to focus on? Do you have a novel or short story still in the beginning stages? We will focus on figuring out what you really want to write, and get it started, or work on something you have written, and make it shine. The class will be structured around weekly writing workshops, in-class exercises, and constructive criticism from both the teacher and your peers. Finally, you will be able to tell your 'big' story! This class is designed for you to continue on to Advanced Fiction.
