Manchester Community College, Manchester, CT

This fiction workshop will invite lively discussion toward the practice and discovery of both the stories and the language necessary to write effective and illuminating fiction. By examining the work of a variety of successful writers and through open discussion of students’ work, the course will address the methods of structuring plot, developing character, descriptive writing, and assembling stories, both long and short. Exercises and prompts will be used to initiate creative writing in class. Each writer’s voice is distinct and unique, and the course should help the beginner or more experience writer of fiction discover or refine their own. Please note: Jeff will read and comment on up to ten pages of student work per week, for those interested. Please register early; enrollment is limited.
