Upcoming Webinars
Show Don’t Tell
This webinar looks at how we can engage vivid detail to bring characters and settings to life in our fiction, using as examples excerpts from Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake and Edmund White’s Cinnamon Skin. There will be a lecture, followed by an examination of the excerpts and an in-class writing exercise.

Style and Form in Resistance-Themed Fiction
What constitutes resistance fiction? What makes a literary work stand in opposition to political and societal injustice? In this class, attendees will explore some of the hallmarks of fiction focused on resistance and rebellion across a wide variety of texts, with a special emphasis on style and form. The webinar will also study some of the ways in which writers living under oppressive regimes have managed to use literature to criticize and expose those regimes.

This session will be followed by a Q & A.
