Storylines: Craft Voice in Fic
Fall 2026
Taught By: Katia Lief
Section: A

CRN: 11945

Credits: 3

In this workshop, we have three main goals: To discover and practice the writing of fiction; to develop a strong sense of voice in fiction; and to understand and implement the general rules of the craft of fiction writing and then, as we pursue our art, break the rules with full appreciation of how and why. These three goals are intertwined. During each class, two students share their work. As we work closely together, we come to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and thereby learn from one another. In this way, each session is valuable, whether you are sharing your own work or examining someone else’s. Weekly assignments focus on reading about and practicing elements of craft. Open to all levels.
