Fiction Workshop
Bart Thornton
Collegiate Only Rising 11th Graders – Rising 12th Graders
June 8 – July 3 • 9 a.m – 1:30 p.m.
There will be class on Friday, June 19 but no class on Friday, July 3.
$1,095 per session
In Fiction Workshop, students will be introduced to a range of strategies and styles for writing creative contemporary fiction. Students will read several short stories and a novel. They will also screen several TV shows and films, examining the “tricks of the trade” for writers working in these visual media. Students will have the opportunity to “pitch,” write, share and revise a substantive original novella, series of stories, screenplay or teleplay. If creative expression and mass media is attractive to you, this could be a delightful way to spend part of your summer.
Qualified Collegiate students who have earned an A- average or better in their last two semesters of English, may take this elective for Honors credit. However, this requires additional independent reading and writing.
