It's Not Just About Size: The Novella
The novella is more than just the size of its spine; it’s a compelling, single-sitting character portrait and examination; a rich chocolate truffle. In this class, we’ll meet once a week on Zoom to discuss three examples of the form: Brokeback Mountain (Annie Proulx), Rosa (Cynthia Ozick), and Passing (Nella Larsen).
Wednesdays, October 23-November 13

Building Your Collection with Patrick Ryan
"I can't tell you how much I love One Story's classes! What I love is that they are very focused craft classes that allow me to do a deep dive into a subject, such as setting or story structure. They are professionally done and packed with valuable content. I look forward to each new offering."
