Turning Life Into Fiction
Fiction gives you the freedom to make up stories, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look at your own life for inspiration. Tim O’Brien says, “Story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth.” You won’t just be writing “what you know,” but writing what you might discover—by blurring real-life experiences with whatever you dream up. Through writing prompts, you’ll mine memories and generate ideas from daily life, and, in the process, learn more about the craft of fiction.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
