Fiction Workshop

Mystery within Clarity:  Deepening Fiction

The workshop will address ways of deepening fiction. The best stories create mystery within clarity.  How do they do this?   We will examine successful stories, focusing on several elements of craft - character, imagery, point of view - and discussing the means by which these elements and others enrich the story.  We will also discuss selected writings by workshop participants.
