Is there a story you're dying to tell? Are there characters you need to share with the world? Join us as we bring these stories and characters to life. Our writing workshop is open to all styles of fiction, but if you're into dark humor or the strange and experimental, then this free course might be perfect for you. For an hour, we will share, read and comment on the work of our peers to help one another develop as writers. The class will explore short stories centered around the grotesque, the absurd and the surreal. Authors will include Franz Kafka, Luis Jorge Borges, Ursula K. Le Guin, David Foster Wallace and more. Expect to finish the class with a new short story that shows your voice as a writer.
