I’m teaching some zoom writing classes via 1455 Literary Arts. September/October dates:
November 14: Creating Characters, Inside and Out: 1-5 pm.
In these classes, we’ll read stories that illustrate elements of craft (I’ll send you pdfs before the class) and do lots of writing exercises practicing them. A good way to jumpstart a story or novel!
Happy that my flash fiction, “The Pile,” was published in Electric Literature’s “The Commuter” series. You can read the story here. https://electricliterature.com/the-pile-by-karen-bender/
Starting this month, I’m going to be teaching some drop-in and ongoing writing classes through 1455. The schedule for September and October is here–check back for updates! https://1455litarts.org/workshops/
I really enjoyed talking to Sean Murphy, Director of 1455 Literary Arts, in this interview about reading and the writing life. You can watch the interview here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9MKbpF1rBE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3HyHFRt7rjqCmoz2KpQwyx_xzCV2PUl1em9f1H9qHN14J0vveLIwSg0EE
