Introduction to Fiction Writing


Adult / General Interest -
2025-2026 CE School Year

They say everyone has a book in them—do you? This course is designed for those with little to no fiction writing experience and guides you toward achieving your writing goals.

You’ll learn the fundamental building blocks of storytelling—character, plot, and setting—explore different forms of fiction, and discover genres that inspire you.

Whether you’ve never written a word of fiction or haven’t written since school, you’ll leave the course with the skills and confidence to start a new story or revive an old one that’s been sitting in your drawer.
