This 4-week course invites fiction writers of all genres to move beyond the basics of plot structure and dive into the subtler, richer aspects of storytelling. We'll explore how to create complex characters, evoke strong interiority, and craft immersive scenes that resonate with readers. Through discussions, readings, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn techniques for weaving depth into your fiction without sacrificing narrative drive. Whether you're writing literary fiction or genre, this class will offer you new ways to enrich your stories. Join us to develop your craft and make your fiction come alive on the page.

"Whitney was the perfect blend of encourager and teacher! She is also so skilled in bringing a class together."
"Whitney was fantastic at adapting to all of the different story ideas everyone had. Our group had a wide variety of genres and experience levels and she deftly found a link between every one of them and what we happened to be discussing at the time."
"I really loved Whitney's class! We were constantly encouraged to lead with curiosity, which I'll take with me outside of my creative practice."
