provide feedback for students while helping them learn to evaluate and improve
their own fiction. These are interactive classes. Students will post drafts of
their work and participate in discussions of fiction wiring and problems and
questions as they arise. The courses are organized as Yahoo Groups and
meet weekly. Assignments and discussions are due once a week, but students can
participate at a time and date that is convenient for them. The classes are
ongoing during the year. Students can participate for the entire year or for a
shorter time. Students will also have opportunities to read their work at Open
Mic readings during the year. The course is open to new and established
writers. A working knowledge of Microsoft Word and the Internet are
required. Attendance is limited to keep class size small. Pre-registration
