Interested in writing the weird and surreal? Want to learn how to find "truth" even when working in imaginative landscapes? Check out this class with Serrana Gay!

In this generative craft class, we will draw inspiration from a variety of texts which explore the surreal and magical-real. In reading and discussing work by a broad selection of writers, we’ll experiment with weirding reality in our own work.

Meet Anna Hauser, Writers Week 2017 Alum 💚⁠

Another exciting fall class🌟

Many writers start out with a great idea, and often they know how they want the story to eventually wrap up. But it's the middle of the novel where things get tricky. In this workshop, we'll concentrate on how to make the middle of your novel as exciting, suspenseful, compelling, and layered as it needs to be.
