In this 6-week workshop, with bestselling author Laura Castoro as our guide, we will use close reading to examine how the writing pros achieve enviable work. We will explore how to read more deeply so we can deconstruct how the author sets the mood, adheres to or manipulates conventions, and plays with boundaries. We will use excerpts from popular fiction books and short writing prompts in each session to stimulate our imagination and inspire new written work.
