SESSION 1: Virtual Workshop: A Four-Week Generative Workshop with Libby Flores
Jun 5 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
online

How can a writer begin a story or get unstuck when they are in the middle of a draft? In this workshop, we will look specifically at (very short) stories to discover what captivates and arrests our attention and what resonates with a reader long after the last line is read. After we discuss examples in class you will be then given a series of writing prompts. Come ready to write and be inspired! Students will produce writing to start a new story or find fresh avenues into a work already in progress. You will receive in-class feedback from the instructor and your classmates. This class can work for fiction and non-fiction writers.

This virtual workshop will be held on Zoom on Wednesdays, June 5, 12, 19, & 26 at 6:00 ET.

Libby Flores‘s writing has appeared in One Story Magazine, The Kenyon Review, Gagosian Quarterly, American Short FictionPloughshares, Post Road Magazine, McSweeney’sTin House /The Open Bar, The Guardian, and The Los Angeles Review of Books.
