The Foundations of Fiction may be applied to ALL genres of fiction as well as screenwriting, and comic book writing. This course will also cover why an understanding of the Foundations of Fiction is instrumental to good writing at any stage of the writer’s journey.
After completion of ALL three classes in this course, the attendees should have enough material to create or have created a rough draft of a short story. The rough draft can then be developed into a polished first draft. The instructor will be available for manuscript reviews.
