Fall classes on Bainbridge


The writing organization Field's End, on Bainbridge Island, is offering two classes this coming month. For complete information and details, please click here.




Writing Fantasy: The Rules of Magic

Instructor: Janet Lee Carey

Description:
It's commonly thought that fantasy fiction is easy to write because there are no rules. Just the opposite is true. Fantasy writers understand that the vast freedoms of the genre necessitate a strict set of rules. Break the rules and the magic disappears. How can we create within this paradox? Whether you're already writing fantasy or interested in trying the genre, come join us for this interactive workshop with World Building, Plot and Character Relationship, Mythical Story Sources, and more. In class we will play with writing games that explore new worlds, enrich your work, and restore your story passion.

Deep Revision

Instructor: Waverly Fitzgerald

Description:
For writers who have already produced a rough draft, this class offers the opportunity to revise and polish an essay, short story, or book manuscript. We’ll begin with an overview, examining themes and structure. Then we’ll tighten our focus to look at the dynamics of each scene or chapter, the shape of each paragraph, and the efficacy of each sentence. We’ll discuss publication strategies so writers are ready for the next step. The goal is to have a piece ready to submit or (for longer works) a detailed plan for completion.
