Short Stories Workshop w Rachel King | May 5 - June 9

How to Be More Yourself: On Writing and Revising Short Stories

 

“The only way, I think, to learn to write short stories, is to write them, and then try to discover what you have done.” -Flannery O’Connor

Do you not understand why you’re stuck when writing or revising a short story? In this class, we will discover what your stories are doing so that you can do more of what you already do, only better. Be prepared to examine and discuss your own stories, classmates’ stories, and assigned stories. We will also do some great in-class writing exercises on characterization, point of view, dialogue, and landscape (both interior and exterior). Open to all writers. Maximum: 12 writers.

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
