SUMMARY:Using Invented and Foreign Languages as Tools for World Building: A Fiction Workshop with Rita Bullwinkel
DESCRIPTION:A dynamic Fiction Workshop facilitated by author\, Rita Bullwinkel. This workshop will be held every Saturday 10 AM – 12 PM from Mar 6 – Apr 10.\n\nCLA WRITERS WORKSHOPS are open to individuals of all backgrounds–including those who are exploring creative writing for the first time–as well as aspiring writers who want to prepare their work for publication. Workshops are modeled on graduate-level creative writing courses\, and may include short in-class writing assignments to jumpstart the writing process\, as well as work outside of class that will entail reading the work of select published writers\, critiquing the work of other workshop participants\, and writing a piece to be workshopped by the class. Each participant will receive written comments from the instructor. Workshops are led by accomplished local authors\, including students and alumni of the San Jose State University Creative Writing Program.\nTuition $250 // Eventbrite\n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION:\nOne of the big things that makes us\, as readers of fiction\, read on into a book is mystery and\, very often\, that mystery comes in the form of a word or idea we don’t yet understand. As a writer\, one way to rope your readers in is to deliberately use words that you know your audience might not understand\, and then\, through context\, teach your readers the meaning of those words. This is a tool used frequently in fantasy as well as literary writing. In this workshop we will explore several examples of this invaluable literary tool and learn how we can best deploy this strategy in our own fiction.\nRita Bullwinkel is the author of the story collection Belly Up\, which won the 2018 Believer Book Award. Bullwinkel’s writing has been published in Tin House\, The White Review\, Conjunctions\, BOMB\, Vice\, NOON\, and Guernica. She is a recipient of grants and fellowships from The MacDowell Colony\, Brown University\, Vanderbilt University\, Hawthornden Castle\, and The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation. Both her fiction and translation have been nominated for Pushcart Prizes. She is an Editor at Large for McSweeney’s and a Contributing Editor for NOON. She lives in San Francisco and teaches at the California College of the Arts.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth George - Mastering the Process: From Idea to Novel (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:As the author of twenty-four novels\, Elizabeth George is one of the most successful—and prolific—novelists today. In Mastering the Process\, George offers readers a master class in the art and science of crafting a novel. This is a subject she knows well\, having taught creative writing both nationally and internationally for over thirty years. \nFor many writers\, the biggest challenge is figuring out how to take that earliest glimmer of inspiration and shape it into a full-length novel. How do you even begin to transform a single idea into a complete book? \nIn these pages\, award-winning\, number one New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George takes us behind the scenes through each step of her writing process\, revealing exactly what it takes to craft a novel. \nDrawing from her personal photos\, early notes\, character analyses\, and rough drafts\, George shows us every stage of how she wrote her novel Careless in Red\, from researching location to imagining plot to creating characters to the actual writing and revision processes themselves. George offers us an intimate look at the procedures she follows\, while also providing invaluable advice for writers about what has worked for her—and what hasn’t. Mastering the Process gives writers practical\, prescriptive\, and achievable tools for creating a novel\, editing a novel\, and problem solving when in the midst of a novel\, from a master storyteller writing at the top of her game. \nElizabeth George is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty psychological suspense novels\, four young adult novels\, one book of nonfiction\, and two short-story collections. Her work has been honored with the Anthony and Agatha awards\, two Edgar nominations\, and both France’s and Germany’s first prize for crime fiction\, as well as several other prestigious prizes. She lives in Washington State. \n  \nElizabeth George photo by Jennifer Derrick Adams
