This is for people with some fiction-writing experience. You share your work-in-progress for constructive and supportive feedback from the group and tutor. In a workshop environment we explore ways to structure and plot a novel, and consider approaches to writing a collection of short stories; class projects help you further your own work. We discuss issues such as how to brainstorm for ideas and how to set realistic goals and keep them. Advice is given on agents and publishers. By the end of the course, you can expect to have made significant progress on a novel and/or a collection of short stories.
