Teaching at Crow Arts Manor This Fall

Hey friends and colleagues. I just signed on to teach a new class early in the fall at the Crow Arts Manor here in Portland. It’s a night class, one session a week for 6 weeks. All 6-week classes at Crow Arts run $95 for the whole thing, with a maximum of 8 students allowed. That means, tons of personal time. Details below.
Matty Byloos: Character-Based Fiction
September 14, 2011 – October 19, 2011
For fiction writers whose work does not rely principally on traditional elements like plot, details such as character, texture and language can be vital in working towards a strong, cohesive narrative. Together, we will examine and explore contemporary writers who place character above other fictional elements in the service of “story.” Students will have the opportunity to work on a single, longer work, or multiple flash-style short pieces of fiction over the course of the class.
Check out the full schedule of classes here.
Crow Arts Manor is located at 850 NE 81st Ave. #114 in Portland, Oregon.
