How do we achieve enough distance from fact to make a story work? What is the artist’s job, and is there any debt owed to actual fact? This workshop explores the nature of story using the students’ own work and in-workshop exercises. The point will be to expand notions of narrative and story. Limited to 15 students. Manuscripts for workshops due April 6.
