Do you have an idea for a short story or a novel brimming inside you that needs a little nudging to get out (not to mention time!) Or perhaps you have written something and want to workshop it. Look no further, this is a great opportunity for you to get those fabulous stories, ideas and thoughts down.
Starting later this month, Ditmas Park Fiction will be taught by Rachel Sherman. Structured around in-class discussions of your work, this fiction workshop will focus on outline, structure, plot, narrative, dialogue and pacing, as well as content. You will also receive written critiques and edits from Rachel as well as your peers. This is an open class. Beginning writers as well as writers who currently have a novel or short story in progress are all welcome.
Details:
The class will be held Mondays, 7-9pm
May 2-July 11 (no class on July 4)
10 weeks -$400
The class is located at the Ditmas Workspace.
