Six Stories, Six Weeks. Instructor Sarah Banse returns with our popular writing class, six weeks with six stories. 

This is an opportunity to experiment with new forms and share fresh work in a supportive environment. 

This generative class is for anyone ready to take on a writing practice. Expect to write a new story draft ranging from 300-1000 words each week, and to be workshopped by the class with written feedback from the instructor.

You’ll leave class with: new ideas and inspiration, six new story drafts, writing prompts to carry you forward, and a grasp of the fundamental elements of short fiction. 

Classes are on Tuesday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Marion Art Center Studio. 

The Winter session runs Feb. 3 through Mar. 17. There is no class on Feb 24. 

The class costs $235 for Marion Art Center members and $275 for nonmembers.
