Fiction Writing Workshop -- Second Tuesday

March through August

Six-month fiction writing workshop focused on short stories, led by Kevin P. Keating.

This fiction writing workshop meets once a month for six months to give and receive feedback on participants' short stories. Each month, writers receive a writing prompt and word limit. They then email their piece to instructor Kevin P. Keating for workshopping the following month. Kevin compiles them into one document which he emails to participants. Participants must commit to reading and critiquing up to 40 pages for each meeting. Everyone will take part in the critiques and learn how to discuss the process of writing and rewriting fiction. 

It's important to the workshop process that we create a community of writers who know and trust each other, so please commit to attending at least five of the six classes. Space is limited and registration is required.

He is the recipient of several literary awards, including the Cleveland Arts Prize, the James Thurber House Award, and a Creative Workforce Fellowship. His newest novel is the speculative triptych, Bridge of Dreams.
