F2F. Creating Worlds out of Words

Literature & Writing | Registration opens 2/25/2026 9:00 AM

Create a sense of place. Bring characters to life. Write dialogue worth eavesdropping on. Keep readers guessing. Make folks laugh. Make folks cry. Whatever your genre, you can put a novelist’s techniques to good use. Along with craft, we’ll explore issues: Should you “write what you know?” or “write what you can find out?” “Novel or memoir?” In class, we’ll write short pieces, look for solutions to problems, and maybe even face the world and ourselves.
