Our lives are rich with experiences we’ve had as well as stories passed on from families and friends. How do you decide what’s material for a short story, novel, essay or memoir that anyone outside your family will want to read? How do you decide which details to keep and which to discard? How do you shape your narrative into work that lasts? In this generative writing class, we’ll engage in writing exercises that help us explore these questions, read excerpts of contemporary fiction and nonfiction to examine choices authors have made, and share our writing.

Teaching Style: I believe everyone has a story to tell. My style is collaborative and encouraging. I’ve designed the class to be collaborative in that we’re all coaching each other to feel empowered as writers and believe in our unique voices. With literary techniques, I want to dispel the mystery of writing and give writers tools to flourish.

Level: Introductory

This course will be held online via Zoom.
