The Fiction Writer's Toolbox

Weekly on Thursdays, February 25 - March 10, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Join acclaimed author Michelle Wildgen (Bread and Butter) for a 3-session creative writing workshop. Explore the building blocks of a short story: finding inspiration, understanding your characters and showing who they are on the page, turning a situation into a story, what makes a great scene, and how small tweaks to the writer’s approach create totally different effects on the page. The workshop will include writing prompts and exercises to get students started on new ideas, then developing an idea over the course to flesh out inspiration into the beginning of a short story. Register by phone at (608) 266-6385 or online beginning January 25. The Bubbler is funded by a grant from the Institute of Museums and Libraries.
