Creative Writing Workshop
Creative Writing
Unleash your imagination to create new characters, build new worlds and develop a unique voice and style that captivates an audience.
Craft a story that quickly captures your readers’ attention and doesn’t let go. Try your hand at writing plot-driven historical fiction, or rugged prose inspired by Hemingway. Delve into cultures and conflicts, and explore what it takes to build a believable fictional world. Turn plot, dialogue, characterization, tempo, and style into the tools to immerse your readers in your imaginative worlds, captivating characters, and engaging narratives.
What you'll do
Rewriting Plots
Shake up your favorite fictional scenes by reworking character interaction, reimagining conflicts, and reconfiguring the story’s ending.

What happens when your characters meet? Test your characters’ motivations, traits, flaws, and goals as they interact with others.
Figurative Language
Have a whale of a time exploring how literary devices such as personification, simile, metonymy, and metaphors enhance your prose.
Personal Style + Editing
Develop a unique writing style and find your voice as you compose an original piece. Polish your work using a variety of editing and revision techniques.
