Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this fiction class:

This is the perfect class for fiction writers who want to be writing but aren't, or those who feel stuck on a current project. This is a generating class in which students write new material or advance pre-existing short stories or novel chapters.

The class provides weekly deadlines, through fun and challenging prompts, that serve as pricks to the imagination to get you off and racing. Each class session is reserved for workshopping student work. The class works well for both beginning and more experienced writers who want to increase their creative output.

Location Note:
All classes are located at the West Side YMCA at 5 West 63rd Street. Students will need to check in with reception, and on their first visit they will need to check in with the Membership Desk to get their program participant card for entry. Reception will direct them to the room where their class is being held.

Refund Policy

The refund policy varies by branch and program, however, in most instances a refund is only given if the school cancels a program. Program credit may only be issued in special circumstances.

In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Beth gives a number of options as your prompts for each class, and then an additional fun activity is assigned as part of an effort to get you to think creatively and expose yourself to new ideas. Beth is a kind, thoughtful teacher who has very insightful critiques and suggestions on what direction you should go in and how you can strengthen each piece. This was my second time taking this course and I've already signed up for it again!

    This is the second class of Beth's that I've taken at the YMCA and I really enjoyed it. Each class, each student reads their 300-word work aloud, based on the prompt assigned the last week. This format allows for students to experiment with one-off pieces or continue working on longer works throughout the course. Beth's critiques are thoughtful and helpful. I would absolutely take this class again, and I suggest you do too!

Question from Dylan M.
Is there a minimum number of students who need to sign up for this course for it to occur? Similarly, is there a way to tell how many students have already signed up?
Answer from Caroline S. Verified Educator
Hello Dylan, My name is Cassandra Richards, I am the Director of Community Arts at the West Side YMCA. The minimum number of students to run the class is 7 and we are currently at 9. We cap the class at 10 so there is still one spot left for this session if you are interested.
