The Well Review Writing Courses

 

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: FEBRUARY & MARCH   February   The Trickster online short story course starts February 6th and runs for six weeks. You can choose from either the Tuesday morning or Thursday evening class. We will read and respond to work by short story masters such as Kevin Barry, Lydia Davis and Vladimir Nabokov. Kevin Barry is our special guest in the final session and the remarkable Gunnhild Øyehaug joins us for session 2. This course looks at the character of The Trickster and also at how we can be tricksters in our own work. How can we mislead the reader? How can we reveal the reader to themselves? And how can writing be an act of mischief? This is the only online masterclass I will run this year and it is open to all genres of writers. The class also includes a 1:1 feedback session with me. Register here. March   In March, our friend Ellen Bass will run another stunning series of Living Room Craft Talks. Ellen will be presenting practical teachings that you’ll be able to put to use at whatever stage of development you’re at—whether you’re just beginning, somewhere in the great middle, or are an accomplished and published poet. The topics for this series are: Endings; Science and Poetry; The Things of This World; Persona Poems; Location, Location, Location; and Juxtaposition. Other essential aspects of craft will feature such as image, syntax, form, diction, music and tone. Register here.   www.thewellreview.com
