​

Explore your writer’s voice and vision this summer with a deep dive into fiction writing! This course is open to high schoolers who want to create, share their work, and make friends in an encouraging setting, regardless of previous fiction writing experience.

 

Each day we will focus on a skill that is essential for fiction writing, such as character, dialogue, setting, plot, point of view, and drafting/revision. As we develop our own creative voices and visions, we will read examples of excellent fiction from a wide range of genres, including realistic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and young adult. Each session will consist of reading and discussion of a story, a fiction craft lesson, and time to work on a prompt. The course will culminate in an open mic and celebration.
