Dive into writing poetry and fiction in this welcoming class!
Test the waters in both poetry and fiction, and learn the essential tools for writing creative work. Each unit will focus on an element of craft, including writing exercises, workshops and reading discussions. This is a great way to dip into creative writing and gain confidence on the page! Participants will learn how to write with poetic imagery, what flash fiction is, how to write compelling characters, and more.
Learn at your own pace: This workshop will take place over Wet Ink, which is an asynchronous creative writing platform. The instructor will post a lesson and assignment at the beginning of each week, and participants can log in and read the lessons/post assignments/comment on other classmates’ work at their convenience.
