Online Fiction Writing Workshop with Kevin Basl (6/8 to 6/29)
This 4-week online course will teach the fundamentals of fiction writing. Each week, we will read a different short story to highlight the basic elements (plot, setting, description, perspective and characters), and respond to a writing prompt or two, to help students write their own stories. Every Monday, we will meet via Zoom for discussion and feedback (7:00 PM to 8:00 PM). We will also utilize the Blogger platform, for online posts and writing assignments.
Cost: $100 Veterans/$125 Non-Veterans. Proceeds to benefit CBAW. Registration and more information here.
