In this one-time workshop we'll cover the basics of pitching and submitting, the difference between the two, and when it makes sense to do each. The class will be organized around a mini-lecture and templates for tracking your submissions and pitches and will also include time for questions about best practices and suggestions, when relevant, about outlets that might be a good fit for a particular project. Feel free to bring a few pages of work with you to class and if time allows, we can brainstorm together.
Celebrate the end of the "school" year by coming out to hear our hard-working students read from the pieces they've written in workshop this spring. Our final remote reading will feature students from our Fiction, Memoir, Poetry, Prompt workshops and more! Join to support your fellow writers or friends, learn more about what we do around here, or be inspired to tell your story.
We're thrilled to offer this special evening with writer, editor, and Literary Agent Tommy Dean for a ninety-minute generative writing session focused on creating dynamic and immersive settings for flash and microfiction! We’ll look at model texts and hopefully get inspired by the writing prompts! Participants will have the opportunity to start multiple drafts during this session. Flash word count/space limits pressure the writer to create and/or/reveal the setting quickly, but specifically and uniquely if they want to form dynamic and affecting stories. Readers want stories they can experience, and dynamic settings can add depth to any story!
