Celebrating the First Fiction Genre Certificate Cohort Graduation
We are excited to honor the accomplishments of our very first Fiction Genre Certificate holders! This milestone marks not only their hard work and dedication but also the possibilities that lie ahead for many more aspiring writers.
What kind of writer do you want to be?
A Poet?
Our Poetry Certificate Program will take you on a journey through the layers of poetic craft. Begin with the basics in Poetry 1, where you’ll dive into form, language, and imagery. As you progress to Poetry 2 and 3, you’ll explore both traditional and experimental styles, honing your voice, refining your lines, and focusing on revision and publishing. Whether you’re laying the foundation or aiming for professional publication, our workshops and supportive community will help you blossom into the poet you aspire to be.
A Novelist?
Our Fiction Certificate Program is designed to guide you from idea to published manuscript. In Fiction 1, you’ll explore the essentials of storytelling—plot, character, and setting. Fiction 2 delves deeper into character development and world-building, and in Fiction 3, you’ll master voice and revision. Through hands-on workshops and practical exercises, you’ll shape your story, develop your craft, and be ready to share your work with the world.
A Screenwriter?
If your dream is to see your stories on screen, then our Screenwriting Program is for you. From the fundamentals of screenplay formatting and character creation in Screenwriting 1, you’ll move to plot development and scene structure in Screenwriting 2, and ultimately, script refinement and pitching in Screenwriting 3. Along the way, you’ll gain valuable experience through workshops, feedback sessions, and a final table read to prepare you for a future in screenwriting.
A Memoirist?
Our Memoir and Creative Nonfiction Program guides storytellers in turning life experiences into compelling narratives. Memoir 1 introduces the building blocks of structure, voice, and character development. Memoir 2 offers advanced techniques, such as braided essays and other forms, to deepen your storytelling skills. Finally, Memoir 3 focuses on the art of revision and the submission process, setting you on the path to publication.
