At The Center, each of our classes are thoughtfully customized to accommodate a wide variety of interests and needs, whether you’re interested in writing short stories, novels or more. Both beginners and intermediate/advanced writers can participate in a workshop led by some of today’s most exciting writers! Get to know our teachers with our series of interviews. 

Are you an aspiring writer who is just getting started?  A practicing writer who wants to recharge your creative battery? Need to trim the fat…from your stories? Join Myla Goldberg as she leads a 4-week class that will create a supportive environment for brainstorming and new writing. Don’t worry, Creative Bootcamp: Craft & Practice won’t involve any rigorous dieting! In fact, one of Myla’s favorite writing tools includes a sweet treat…

Favorite Writing Tools: Salted dark chocolate covered almonds

I’m currently reading: A Wrinkle in Time (with my 9-year-old daughter), Delicate, Edible Birds by Lauren Groff (with my mouth agape at how well she writes short stories)

If I could be a fictional character for a day, I’d choose: Moby Dick!  I’d get to stay under water for 90 minutes at a time, bite off a sea captain’s leg, and destroy several whaling ships.

You should take my class because: What’s neat about Creative Bootcamp is that it draws writers from varying experience levels, with writing exercises and craft discussions that work for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners. 

Why I love The Center for Fiction: The elevator.  Every time I ride up in it, I read something on its walls that makes me smile.

if you haven’t read Bee Season by Myla Goldberg you should question your life but before you do that you should go out and buy Bee Season by Myla Goldberg.
