A place to study story and gather around those who tell them.

Workshops, manuscript guidance, readings, and conversations for writers and readers.

Founded by writer and teacher Morgan Talty.

The six things every class returns to.

What's on

Study

Classes and workshops

Short workshops and longer courses, built around how the parts of a story pressure each other. You read, you write, you revise, and you leave with pages you've actually worked on.

Class listings

Manuscript guidance

Close attention to a draft and a response you can use in revision.

How it works

Gather

Readings and lectures

Writers, books, and time for the audience to join the conversation.

Events

For readers

Close reading and author conversations, for people who want to pay attention to a book without writing one.

For readers

For organizations

Classes, talks, and readings planned with libraries, bookstores, schools, and other hosts.

For organizations
In the classroom

A change in point of view changes what a reader knows. Setting shapes what a character can do. Study how those choices work together, then try them in your own pages.
