The Nuts and Bolts of Writing Fiction with Michael Coffino: Agents and Publication In-Person
Writing good fiction requires elements like plot, voice, and character development. Each one must be able to stand on its own but they should also meld into one another to create a piece of writing that compells, excites, and inspires. In this workshop series, participants can expect to learn the nuts and bolts of writing as both individual pieces and parts of a greater whole. Registrants are encouraged to participate in every class to get the full experience. This intimate series will provide insightful instruction, professional critique, and peer review. Seating is limited so registration is required.
