Big Stories: Fiction and Non-Fiction Workshop

Catalog description

How do worlds come alive on the page? How do authors make their readers feel like they are walking the streets of New York City – or Middle-earth? This creative writing workshop is for students working on fiction and/or non-fiction who wish to improve their worldbuilding skills. Students refine various craft elements in their work, such as tone, plot, setting, periodization, character development, and immersion. The workshop invites students to work on one or more genres of their choice (journalistic nonfiction, video game script writing, fantasy, sci-fi, memoir…) as they hone their voice and style. 002187
