Have you ever wished you could step into 221B Baker Street or share a fireside chat with Huckleberry Finn? Maybe a story once pulled you in so completely that you stayed up far too late, needing to know what happened next. Start creating fiction that resonates just as deeply with readers, and with yourself.This three-day intensive workshop is designed for writers at any stage of their creative journey. Whether you’re crafting your first short story or returning to a writing practice after time away, you’ll gain the craft skills, creative spark, and structured tools to bring your ideas to life.
Together, we’ll explore the three essential elements of fiction—character, setting, and plot—and how they weave together to create powerful, lasting stories. Through close readings and lively discussion of writers like Ernest Hemingway, Ken Liu, and Louise Erdrich, you’ll discover how masterful storytelling is built from the ground up.
You’ll also receive practical guidance on moving from idea to draft and beyond—organizing your writing, developing sustainable habits, and navigating the path to publication with confidence.
The workshop blends lectures, group discussions, writing prompts, and live feedback in a supportive flash fiction workshop. You’ll also have the chance to join an exclusive Q&A with a published author for real-world insight into the writing life.
By the end of the weekend, you won’t just walk away with a brand-new short story—you’ll walk away with creative momentum, a renewed sense of purpose, and a roadmap for what comes next.
