2025 Summer Workshops

Benjamin Percy Fiction Workshop: The Refiner’s Fire June 12 to June 17, 2016 Tuition: $600 Workshop: 9AM-Noon Discipline: Fiction OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing Available

Crack your knuckles and get ready to write. We’re going to have fun, but we’re going to work hard. By the end of the week, you’ll have editorial suggestions on your manuscript and new material that will explode into new stories. Every day includes craft lessons and generative exercises. We’ll discuss everything from momentum to artful sentences with samples from Stephen King to Alice Munro. You’ll emerge as if through a refiner’s fire, a better, stronger, cleaner writer.

Please email 10-20 double-spaced pages of either a short story or novel excerpt to workshops@fawc.org by May 29.
