Creative Writing
Level up your fiction and receive feedback on your work! Each week, we’ll dive into essential elements of fiction, including character, narrative voice, dialogue, point of view, and conflict/stakes. Class time will include sample readings, discussion, and writing prompts to spark new ideas and practice what you’ve learned. Starting on week four, we’ll begin workshopping and critiquing each other’s stories, with instructor guidance on how to give constructive, encouraging feedback. We’ll end our time together with tips for revising your work and guidance on how to submit to literary magazines.

Through guided reading, discussion, and writing exercises, you'll explore elements such as plot, conflict, dialogue, and point of view while generating material for your own fiction. Participants will have the opportunity to submit a final piece—such as a short story draft, story fragments, or a novel excerpt—for instructor feedback.

Explore your family history through storytelling rather than genealogy alone. Using reflective exercises and focused craft lessons adapted from Guided Autobiography (a reflective writing method that uses prompts to spark meaningful stories), you’ll transform memories of parents, grandparents, and beyond into vivid personal narratives. Each week highlights a new theme, from cultural roots to family traditions, while building skills in description, structure, and voice. Leave with a portfolio of stories and greater confidence as a writer.
Future offerings will be posted on our new website when it is up and running. Coming Soon!!
