LIVE via Zoom: 10am-12pm (Eastern)

We all know that feeling of encountering a strong narrative voice on the page. We are infected by its singularity, by its seduction, by its ruts and inconsistencies. But what, exactly, are the mechanics of a voice’s authority? As writers, how do we sweep up our readers inside the inexplicable, honeycombed mind of a character? What do we put in and what do we leave out? In this weeklong virtual intensive we will go deep into our stories and read a few published stories as well. Please be prepared to have a story ready for workshop—12 pages, double space max. Novel excerpts are also acceptable but as much as possible they should be able to stand on their own. We will create a workshop schedule ahead of time. The week will fly by, but we will get a lot done and you will emerge with a compass and map for the route ahead.
