Kelley’s Seattle-based class on writing short fiction is now open for registration (and scholarship applications) at Hugo House. I hope many Seattle writers will join this or one of the many other great classes (from one day to six weeks) in the Hugo House winter catalog.

Come enjoy the company of other writers and the fun of learning and practicing the skills of short fiction. Writing is fun! Let’s have some.

The Whole Story
 
All good stories – those that delight or thrill you, make you laugh or cry — are built from the same fundamental blocks. We’ll explore essential elements of good short fiction: structure, point of view, plotting, character development, description and dialogue. You’ll learn practical techniques like specificity, emotional language, anchor points and narrative grammar that you can use immediately. The class will be a mix of reading, discussion, and writing, as well as an hour-long individual conference with the instructor.
