“The character that lasts is an ordinary guy with some extraordinary qualities,” said Raymond Chandler. In this interactive and exercise-focused class led by guest author Leslie Pietrzyk, we’ll explore methods of creating and describing memorable, interesting characters. Suitable for all levels of writing experience and all genres. Please bring a computer or notebook for writing. This event will then break for lunch before meeting up again for "Start Your Fiction/Memoir Right: Effective Beginnings" at 1:30. The second half of the workshop will be listed as a different event in our calendar so all details for that workshop will be there. If you have any questions, contact rappwriting@iclould.com

We hear it all the time: the opening paragraphs and pages of your work must hook your reader. Easier said than done! In this class we’ll examine and discuss effective openings of published fiction and memoir, share tips about what makes an opening pop, and cast a close eye on our own opening pages-in-progress. Suitable for all levels of writing experience. If you would like to share for group discussion, please bring 6 or so copies of either the first 2 pages of a short story/essay you’ve working on OR the first 4 pages of a novel/memoir-in-progress.

No matter what genre we are writing in, it can be hard to create three-dimensional antagonists—those characters in our poems, stories, memoirs, and non-fiction who may have committed wrongs, be just plain unlikeable, or serve as obstacles to our main character or the greater good. This workshop, led by Jean Diehl, is intended for both beginning and experienced writers. We’ll start by sharing ideas about notorious two- and three-dimensional villains from favorite books and popular culture. Then, working individually and together, we’ll use anonymous vintage photos to practice writing bad guys. Our goal is to have a fun, engaging writing experience and to gain insights into enriching our book projects with more fully realized antagonists. Please bring paper and writing utensils or a fully charged computer. If you have any questions, contact rappwriting@icloud.com

You have a first draft of an essay or story. What now? In this workshop, Hannah Grieco will guide you through a series of clear, repeatable exercises to help your writing evolve. Bring two flash stories or essays (or excerpts!) and an open mind. Whether you’re working in literary fiction or nonfiction, any genre or style is welcome. You’ll leave with two dramatically different drafts, a new perspective on your work, and tangible editing tools you can use moving forward. If you have any questions, contact rappwriting@icloud.com
