Are you looking for a supportive community of peers who will read your short fiction and offer constructive feedback? Novelist Nomi Eve guides participants towards the creation of impactful fiction.

• Students' writing forms the basis of weekly discussions.
• Teacher supplies weekly writing prompts. Workshop participants do not have to use the prompts. Prompts are intended to support, not replace students’ own creative process.
• Participants can hand in between 500 words - 8 pages double-spaced. Micro-fiction/memoir submissions of 500 words (or less) are fine. The higher word limit is only there for students who are itching to write and workshop something longer.

Each student is guaranteed to be workshopped 3 times during the course, but if pieces are shorter, students will get critiqued more often. Instructor will comment on and offer constructive critique all student efforts.

Creative Writing: Advanced/Revision Workshop

Price: $400 *There is a 10% discount for Drexel Alumni.
Schedule: 10 Mondays, 5 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Location: Drexel University Campus

This class is intended for students who have been writing for some time and are interested in taking their work to the next level with a small and supportive group of fellow writers.

• This workshop is limited to five students. Students must have Nomi Eve’s permission to enroll.
• Participants can hand in up to twenty-five double-spaced pages of work. All initial work must be submitted by August 15th.
• Each student will be critiqued twice. The intention is for students to work on one “chunk” of text and have a revision critique for their second workshop.
