We teach all forms and styles, providing instruction and mentoring in novels, novellas, short stories, story collections, and flash fiction. Our fiction faculty has, as a whole, published work in every genre, and our aesthetic tastes are eclectic—there is no “one way” to write in our program, and all manner of subject matter is honored. In our mentoring of each student, we offer our expertise in the service of the quest to find a unique voice and vision. We encourage exploration and inventiveness, while at the same time emphasizing the durable strengths of craft and structure, and the necessity of reading widely and critically.

 

During our summer and winter residencies, the diversity of our offerings of craft lectures, readings, and workshops helps to build our students’ foundations while expanding their sense of fiction’s limitless possibilities.
