Short Story Workshop with Liz Prato

A good short story keeps readers engaged long after the last word. In this craft-oriented workshop, we'll critique your short fiction in progress, and give close readings to work by modern masters of the form. Whether you're a novelist, memoirist, journalist or good ole' short story scribe, this class will make you a better writer by strengthening your understanding of character, scene, and the ever-elusive story arc. We will use the literary story as our guide, but all genres are welcome.   Instructor: Liz Prato*
