Short Fiction Workshop (taught by Leslie Parry)

Thursdays, 7:30 to 9:30 pm
January 28, 2010 to March 18, 2010 (8 weeks)

For the first four weeks of this eight-week course, we will do in-class writing exercises and discuss published short fiction from a craft perspective.  We will cover such topics as characterization, point of view, structure, voice, and scene, and there will be short take-home writing assignments.  For the final four weeks of the course, we will workshop student work in a serious environment meant to challenge and inspire every member of the class. Each student will have the opportunity to workshop one short story manuscript.

This course will take place in the instructor’s home in Beachwood Canyon (Hollywood), where wine and sparkling water—and the occasional gourmet cheese—will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
$360 for new students; $320 for returning students.  Payment plans available.
