2024 Summer Workshops

Salvatore Scibona Fiction Workshop June 25 to June 30, 2017 Tuition: $600 Workshop: 1pm-4pm Discipline: Fiction OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing Available

Whether you are at work on a short story or a novel, of whatever genre, participants in this course will come ready to read your work with a critical eye and an adventurous sense of the infinite forms and subjects fiction can tackle. We will read a few excellent published stories, but the overwhelming emphasis will be on discussion of your submitted works-in-progress, what they are already saying, and how to let them sing.

Come to the first meeting of the class with 10 copies of a manuscript (up to 20 pages, double-spaced, 12pt font) which we will discuss over the course of the week.
