Turning Family Gossip and Tales into Short Stories and Novels

Turning Family Gossip and Tales into Short Stories and Novels
Turning Family Gossip and Tales into Short Stories and Novels
A single-session workshop. Our lives are rich with stories passed on from families and friends. How do you decide what's material for a short story or a novel that anyone outside your family will want to read? How do you decide which details to keep and which to discard? How do you shape your narrative into fiction that lasts?

In this generative writing intensive, we'll engage in writing exercises that help us explore these questions, read excerpts of contemporary fiction to examine choices authors have made, and share our writing.
