Required Courses

Tools of the Writer's Craft

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.7.

When writers move past the initial inspiration the act and the art of writing gives them, they often find themselves developing an interest in craft, and craft is the emphasis of this workshop. How do we develop character and reveal plot without resorting to dull exposition? Render autobiographical incidents into useful fictional material? Reveal character motivation while maintaining plot momentum? Subtly but effectively sound thematic concerns? With the help of published examples and a discussion of how these writers are effective, weekly assignments give you opportunities to put theory into practice as well as the provide the discipline and accountability necessary to move your writing project forward . These assignments are discussed in a workshop forum, which further enhances your ability to discern what goes into a piece of effective writing.

Reading Contemporary Creative Nonfiction as a Writer

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.29.

Reading creative nonfiction opens up some particularly complex and fascinating issues for writers of all genres. As Picasso famously said, "art is the lie that tells us the truth." Contemporary essayists are particularly attuned to that paradox, juggling truth and fact, statement and question, investigation and meditation, the personal and the universal, and other tensions in the crafting of their stories. Use this course to practice close reading and personal analysis from an exciting sample of contemporary nonfiction works with the goal of developing a more pronounced vocabulary for articulating your passion as a reader and, correspondingly, your values as a writer.

This course is not currently scheduled.

Reading Contemporary Fiction as a Writer

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.5.

The best writers are the best readers. They read everything. Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Richard Ford said: "It's a short step from admiring to emulating; reading good writing can move us to try to duplicate it. And close study can help teach us how to duplicate it." Read and think critically and respond with writing of your own as you analyze, dissect and deconstruct fiction produced by a variety of contemporary writers. Discover how reading stimulates thought, generates ideas, invites discussion and inspires your own writing.

This course is not currently scheduled.

---

Reading Contemporary Poetry as a Writer

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.28.

One of the most important ways in which writers learn their craft is by studying the work of published writers. T.S. Eliot wrote, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different." Read and think critically as you analyze, dissect and deconstruct poetry produced by a variety of contemporary writers. Discover how reading stimulates thought, generates ideas, invites discussion and inspires your own writing.

This course is not currently scheduled.

Short Fiction Workshop

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.8.

You've learned basic tools for fiction writing and are ready to tackle more advanced writing techniques. Hone and finesse your writing skills by exploring point of view and sense of place, crafting a scene, using narration techniques and creating compelling dialogue. Discuss effective ways to infuse manuscripts with your personal style. Enhance your weekly writing assignments through guided exercises and workshop discussions of student and published work.

Creative Nonfiction Workshop

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.20.

One of the most popular and marketable writing genres is literary nonfiction, also called creative nonfiction. Explore what it is and how it differs from conventional journalism and pure fiction. Study examples from the work of accomplished authors like Annie Dillard, John McPhee and Peter Matthiessen to gain insight into this genre. Learn the tools of creative nonfiction through in-class exercises and outside writing assignments as well as discussions of dialogue, setting, character and narrative thread. You'll also receive recommendations on how to conduct interviews and gather primary data. Learn how to combine the journalist's eye for detail and the need for accuracy with the novelist's sense of storytelling and love of language, enhancing your use of literary skills in your nonfiction writing.

This course is not currently scheduled.

Novel Craft Workshop

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.25.

Novel writing may be an exciting proposition, but-as any published novelist will tell you-it takes a lot of discipline and hard work. Use the workshop format of this course to hone your novel writing skills and energize your personal style through an exploration of point of view, sense of place, techniques of dramatization and narration, character and dialogue. Examine the structural considerations of a novel, focusing on large and small narrative arcs and exploring the relationship of scene to chapter and chapter to story. Read published examples and learn how to critically analyze the work of others, which supplements the weekly writing assignments and workshop sessions. Weekly assignments will provide the discipline and accountability necessary to move your writing projects forward. Bring your manuscript-or your idea for a novel-and expand your writing skills in an encouraging and focused environment.

Sections of this course open for enrollment:

• Novel Craft Workshop    starts February 8

---

Poetry Workshop

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.21.

Even T. S. Eliot and e. e. cummings didn't get it right the first time. Crafting poetry that's compelling, effective and resonant takes hard work and the ability to critically evaluate your drafts along the way. In this hands-on workshop, you'll examine the elements that distinguish poetry from prose. You and your classmates will workshop student poetry and make revisions based on critiques. 

By studying published examples, you'll improve your use of image, metaphor and symbolism, your execution of mechanics such as line breaks, pacing, rhythm and sound as well as work on making meaning and using poetic forms. Use this workshop to propel your poetry toward greater discovery and, ultimately, publication.

This course is not currently scheduled.

---

Screenwriting Workshop

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.16.

Receive an introduction to the basics of narrative film and television film writing. Learn standard formatting, story structure and scene development. Study examples of various genres and perform guided exercises and assignments to develop familiarity with these forms including long and three-act. Read scenes from successful scripts, watch the filmed versions of these written scenes and engage in discussion about them. Workshop your original scenes, as well as learn to structure and outline longer form works. No previous screenwriting experience necessary.

This course is not currently scheduled.

Elective Courses

Dialogue and Point of View

2 quarter units academic credit, X410.24.

Strong dialogue and point of view are vital elements in successful creative writing. Learn how to make characters "talk" in your writing. Discover how to avoid the pitfalls of overused adverbs, characters who speak in clichés or lack emotion, and long paragraphs of dialogue-as-exposition. Use published examples to examine and then practice the forms effective dialogue can take. Also, explore point of view and how to use it as the lens through which readers see the action in your story. Use hands-on writing exercises to identify the benefits and drawbacks of first person, third person and omniscient narrators. Learn techniques to create effective, believable voices for your point-of-view characters. Understand what works (and what doesn't) in your own writing. This course is ideal for fiction and nonfiction writers, but the point of view portion is beneficial for poets as well.

Sections of this course open for enrollment:

• Dialogue and Point of View    starts February 7

Metaphor and Scene

2 quarter units academic credit, X410.23.

Effective use of metaphor and elements of scene are two indispensable skills for any writer of poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction. With the help of published examples and writing assignments, discover what goes into creating an effective scene, and how scenes add up to poems and stories. If you're working on a novel, you will understand how scenes transition into chapters and longer story arcs. Explore character and character needs, sense of place and point of view, and spend some time sharpening your dialogue skills. In addition, you'll examine and discuss metaphor and other figures of speech, including metaphor's cousin, the objective correlative. Examine everyday objects and activities and learn to activate them as vehicles for larger themes and underlying meaning. Develop a deeper understanding of how to make your work resonate on two levels: the practical reality of your character's lives and the larger themes you are addressing.

This course is not currently scheduled.

---

Accelerated Session: Structure and Style

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.22.

Structure and style are intimately connected in all forms of creative writing. Learn how to identify and shape your own unique style and structure when writing in any genre. 

Explore ways to find each piece of writings' most effective structure. Consider where and how a particular piece might begin and end, and understand that creative writing is not necessarily linear. Learn about building tension, creating momentum, compelling the reader to continue and leaving the reader satisfied (but wanting more) at the end. 

Also, focus on the writing process by learning to improve the way you arrange words into lines, sentences, paragraphs and more. Learn what works and what doesn't in your own writing and how to organize words to clearly express thoughts and ideas. Work on English usage and style, and examine published samples as a means to expand your repertoire of possibilities. In this course, you'll gain a greater appreciation of the art of writing and build confidence in your ability to move your writing to the next level.

This course is not currently scheduled.

The Art of Expressive Writing

2.5 quarter units academic credit, X410.26.

Discover how your inner voice gains strength through writing. Using the Amherst Writers and Artists method of journal writing, you'll produce first drafts of expressive creative writing across genres, as well as create writing that heals. Practice writing to suggested prompts provided by the facilitator and, if you wish, read your newly minted words to the group. Listeners are allowed only to respond to what they remember, what stays with them, and what is strong about the writing. Develop a habit of generating new writing work on a weekly basis, and read published and peer-written work as models.  

Develop and use a critical vocabulary, and learn to give and receive supportive critical feedback. Practice writing in diverse ways to explore different ideas and feelings. Learn strategies for writing with a more authentic personal voice. This is a writing group-not a therapy group-but the act of writing in this method offers healing to those who participate. No previous writing experience is necessary.

This course is not currently scheduled.

Frequently asked questions

 Fellowships

The Tomales Bay Workshops is proud to offer a number of fellowship opportunities every year.

Fellowships are awarded to applicants who submit the strongest writing. Readers and judges are interested in a variety of literary writing, but are especially partial to work that invites the reader into it through a distinctive voice—be it lyric, narrative, etc. We look for poems, stories or stand alone novel sections, personal and lyric essays, and memoir pieces that execute traditional forms engagingly and gracefully and/or confidently nudge the limits of those forms.

Fellowships cover the cost of tuition, room and board but do not cover transportation. To apply for a fellowship, fill out the application form and include a brief cover letter and paper-clip both to your writing sample (please DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME on your writing sample; writing sample consists of 10 pages of fiction or nonfiction/personal essay, or five poems and should be printed on 8.5 x 11 inches white paper, double spaced, size 11 or 12 Times New Roman or similar font, in black ink). Indicate which fellowship you are applying for at the top left of the cover letter and on the application form.
