Writing Workshops LA: Weekend Mixed Levels Fiction

Weekend Mixed Levels Fiction (taught by Neelanjana Banerjee in South Pasadena)

Sundays, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
July 24, 2016 to September 25, 2016 (No class on September 4 or September 18)

This eight-week mixed-levels class is designed for both short story writers and novelists who cannot attend a workshop during the week. For the first four classes, students will do in-class writing exercises and discuss published short fiction and novel excerpts from a craft perspective. The course will cover such topics as characterization, pacing, point of view, structure, voice, and scene. Every week there will be a five-page requirement to make sure students are writing and rewriting regularly. For the final four weeks of the course, students will be workshopped in a serious environment meant to challenge and inspire every member of the class. Each student will have the opportunity to workshop either one short story manuscript or one novel excerpt (maximum 25 pages).

This class will take place in South Pasadena, where coffee and sparkling water—and the occasional snack—will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students

$390 for new students; $350 for returning students. (Payment plans available to returning students.)
