Study With Me

Here are the places where I regularly teach writing:

• StoryStudio Chicago 
  I’m Artistic Director at this nonprofit Literary Arts center
• The Bennington Writing Seminars
  a low-residency MFA program
• The Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College
  a five-summer program for an MA in Literature
• Northwestern University
  School of Professional Studies MFA program

Here are some upcoming classes and/or conferences where I’ll be teaching:

• “The Short Story Toolkit: Four Lessons on Form, Content, and Brevity”
  at StoryStudio Chicago (online, starting November 12)

Here are some things you can find that I’ve already done:

• The Novelist’s Toolkit class from StoryStudio Chicago
  available on-demand
• “The Ear of the Story”
  lecture given at Tin House; be forewarned that I mix up my Brontes
• I post regularly on my Substack on topics including endings and interiority, and I post weirdly specific writing prompts sometimes.
