Write that Story

Write that Story

Course Code: ARTS2455

This course is welcome to all levels. Anyone can take these courses if interested. Beginner-level instruction will be provided for basic skills while more advanced users can work on more complex projects with instructor assistance.
You have a story you want to write and you need to get started OR you have been writing a story that you need to finish and revise to its very best. Blending lessons, workshops, writing exercises, studio time, and one-on-one consultation with the instructor, this course is designed to develop the skills of both the budding writer and the writer-in-progress. If you plan to begin a new work, arrive with pen and paper (and laptop, if available). If you wish to complete a work-in-progress, you will send the working draft to the instructor one week in advance of course start. This draft should be in the range of 5-15 pages, double-spaced, and can be either a complete piece or an excerpt from a larger work. Contact information is available on the material list or contact the school at askus@hsad.ca. In class, you will develop and explore. What does your reader see, hear, and know by your story? What resonates after the story is over? Learn how to listen to your work, and by this gain more authority over it.
