Writing Short Fiction: From Blank Page to Last Page

Writing Short Fiction: From Blank Page to Last Page, Facilitated by Holly Day
 
Sep. 28 - Oct. 1 at Björklunden, Lawrence University’s Door County campus
 
This four-day in-person workshop will take writers through the fundamentals of building a short story from an idea through to completion.  The basics of character creation, building  tension, and how to find your beginnings and endings will be covered, with plenty of opportunities for writing and sharing material in class and an invitation to submit material for one-on-one feedback.
 
A sanctuary of peace and contemplation, Björklunden resides in picturesque Door County, Wisconsin and features meadows, woods, and more than a mile of unspoiled Lake Michigan shoreline. It is also home to a magnificent two-story lodge, a handcrafted wooden chapel, and a variety of other facilities.
