From Idea to Story: A Beginner's Guide to Fiction Writing

Writing & Storytelling

Have a story idea you can't stop thinking about, but aren't quite sure what to do with it? From Idea to Story is a beginner-friendly creative writing course designed to help aspiring fiction writers turn those sparks of inspiration into stories that feel alive on the page. You'll learn how to develop story ideas, create believable characters with real wants and conflicts, build engaging scenes, choose point of view, strengthen dialogue, and shape your ideas into a compelling narrative. Along the way, you'll complete practical writing exercises that help you apply what you're learning to your own fiction. You don't need a finished plot, years of writing experience, or even a perfectly formed idea. You just need curiosity, imagination, and the willingness to ask, "What if...?" By the end of the course, you'll have stronger storytelling skills, a clearer understanding of the fiction-writing process, and the tools to keep developing your own stories long after the course ends.

Writing Gothic Fiction: What Makes It Gothic?

Writing Gothic Fiction: What Makes It Gothic?

Writing & Storytelling

What actually makes a story Gothic? It’s more than haunted houses, ghosts, dark corridors, and things that go bump in the night. In this live, interactive class, we’ll look beneath the familiar trappings of Gothic fiction to explore what makes a story truly Gothic. Using examples from classic and contemporary works, we’ll examine how Gothic fiction uses setting, secrecy, power, uncertainty, the past, and what lies hidden beneath the surface to create unease and meaning. Then we’ll put those ideas into practice. Through discussion and short writing exercises, you’ll learn how to identify what your story is really about, develop a setting that actively participates in the story, use secrets and incomplete knowledge to build tension, choose motifs with purpose, and think about what you want to leave lingering with the reader. By the end of the class, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how Gothic fiction works, practical tools for writing it, and the beginnings of a Gothic story of your own, or new ways to develop a story you’re already working on. Prerequisites: None. This class is suitable for writers at any stage, including complete beginners. You don’t need any academic knowledge of Gothic fiction or previous experience writing it. Bring something to write with and, if you already have a story or idea you’d like to develop, bring that too. If not, you can create one during the class.

Writing & Storytelling — frequently asked questions

Will I share my writing with the group?
Usually yes, but at your comfort level. Workshop-style classes invite you to share pages for feedback, while other sessions focus on prompts and craft — the class description tells you which format to expect.
Do I need a project already in progress?
No. Some writers arrive with a novel draft; others come to build a writing habit from scratch. Beginner classes start with prompts and fundamentals so you leave with new pages either way.
What kinds of writing are covered?
Creative writing, fiction and novel craft, poetry, storytelling, and reflective journaling — use the search on this page to find the genre and level that fits what you want to write.
