Writing Short Fiction

This is the third session of a 4-week workshop with author Julian Mortimer Smith. The workshop focuses on fleshing out that idea, shaping it into a story, and getting that story down on the page. The workshop covers plot, character, setting, structure, style, and the writing process. There are some writing exercises during the workshop, so bring a pen and paper, and participants are assigned homework after each class. There are opportunities to share your work and receive feedback in a supportive environment. Instructor Julian Mortimer Smith is a prize-winning writer and editor based in Yarmouth. He has published short stories in many of the world’s top science fiction and fantasy magazines, including Asimov’s, Terraform, Lightspeed, and Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy. His first collection, The World of Dew and Other Stories, was selected as the winner of the 2020 Blue Light Books Prize and was published by Indiana University Press. Space is limited to 15 people. People were to register no later than Tuesday, Nov. 5. This program is in English.
