Short Story Writing

Josh Mohr
Thursdays 7:00—9:00 PM
6 weeks starting July 10
$100 / $90 UCB Students
In this class we will discover how to breathe life into characters, write dialogue that leaps off the page, and pace both plot and character-driven scenes in a way that compels our readers to continue turning pages until the end. Each class session will be divided among careful examination of short stories and novel excerpts, guided writing exercises, and constructive feedback on students’ work. By the end of the six-week session, students should have one fully developed scene and a stockpile of ideas, character sketches, and inspiration to continue writing successfully on their own.
