Please join us and special guest Carol Mitchell, the author of the novel What Start Bad a Mornin’ and of 19 children's books, three published by HarperCollins UK. She is the recipient of several writing fellowships, and her book reviews and short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in a variety of journals. She is an assistant professor at George Mason University in Virginia, teaches in writing workshops in various programs, and is currently working on a novel.

So whether you’re an emerging or experienced writer, this generative workshop will offer you an opportunity to develop a new idea or dig deeper into something you’re already working on. We’ll read and discuss the fundamentals at work in a well-regarded short story. We’ll then respond to prompts, taking inspiration from the reading. We’ll repeat this process with a second, and possibly third reading. If time and interest exist, we'll share and discuss some of the newly-generated work, but the main goal of this course is for you to leave with new work, greater insights into the workings of short fiction, and a new or enhanced sense of connection and commitment to your writing.

**All writers are welcome! Very limited space!!
