Winter Term Intensive: The Craft of the Story

X32.9380 / $700
SPRING 2010
Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

This intensive four-day program teaches beginning and intermediate-level writers the fundamentals of storytelling as they focus on fiction writing, memoir writing, or screenwriting. Under the direction of a successful practitioner in their chosen area of concentration, students immerse themselves in writing, attending two 3-hour sessions a day; each session features lectures on craft, writing exercises, and directed readings or screenings of relevant works. One evening, a guest speaker discusses the connections and commonalities between prose and film storytelling. Two receptions provide students with the opportunity to connect with faculty and with each other in an informal setting.

Students must register for Workshop I: Fiction Writing, Workshop II: Memoir Writing, or Workshop III: Screenwriting.
