Tempe, AZ
In this five-hour session on fiction writing, we’ll discuss both the short story and the novel (but mostly short stories). We’ll spend time talking about craft, the writing life, and the business of writing. We’ll do many short exercises, and even some longer ones, which will allow us to share and discuss work. And we’ll be visited by Bhira Backhaus, author of the novel Under the Lemon Trees. Ms. Backhaus will read from her novel and discuss her experience of publishing her first novel and what follows after that.
