About the Offering

Tuesdays from 7pm-9pm (Eastern) on September 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd.

Through a combination of generative exercises, readings, discussions, and workshop, we will explore the various craft components of the short story. We will analyze short works of fiction by Maurice Carlos Ruffin, Deesha Philyaw, Danielle Evans, Morgan Talty, Gina Chung, and others.

This course will have an emphasis on the literary analysis of craft elements—the various parts and mechanisms that keep the engine of a story going.

We will also focus on refining those craft elements in our fiction.

By the end of the course, students will have generated, revised, and workshopped an original short work of fiction.
