Nothing feels quite as fine as setting a new world into words and having it move readers to laughter or tears or whatever it is we hoped they’d feel. In this class, we will practice the art creating such a world. We will challenge our imaginations, our command of language, and our knowledge of the world around us by learning to slow down and take in the kinds of sensory details that feed all three of these endeavors.  We will study the elements of story and learn how to make them tools.

We’ll build our fictional worlds together, line by line, with lots of food and laughter and sharing.
