Bring your short story, memoir, novella, novel or any other works-in-progress to this six-week course. We'll explore different approaches to whip your story into shape. We'll layer the plot; vary the pace; develop complexity in your characters; and fine-tune lines. We'll fret, sweat, groan, and cry about how we can give readers something to think about and something to feel.
Come away with a story that you'll be ready to share, whether its with those close to you or with the world.
This class takes place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
