This workshop is designed for fiction writers who are familiar with the workshopping process, who feel comfortable with at least some of the craft elements, and who have work they would like to keep revising. The class will give constructive feedback on new manuscripts, highlighting what is working in the story and where a next draft might go. As we read and comment on each other’s drafts, the conversation will also explore the writer’s toolbox, discussing topics of plot, character, time management, point of view, language, image, and more. Plan to send, in advance of our meeting in Iowa City, the story or novel excerpt (no more than fifteen pages) you would like to share.

In this workshop, we will workshop writing you bring from home.
