Craftclass
Every month, we host a craftclass where we invite writers, editors, and critics to share a short story they love (or hate!) with our community and lead a roundtable discussion about the story, dissecting it from various angles, including but not limited to its theme, characterization, structure, vision, scope, and style. After the discussion, the instructor will also share 1-2 writing exercises with the participants and/or hold a Q&A session.
Workshop
A 4-8-week online high-quality small-group teaching program, led by award-winning writers, where we will meticulously study renowned literary works, discuss writing techniques, engage in in-depth roundtable discussions centered around students' submissions, with the objective of enhancing writing skills in a short
period of time.
