Horror Writing for Beginners

Do you like scary stories? In this two-hour class, award-winning author and lifelong horror fan Nino Cipri (Dead Girls Don't Dream) will guide students through the process of writing horror fiction. Along the way, we'll explore what the horror genre is, why we love it, and what it offers in a time when real-life horrors are competing for our attention. Here's how it'll go: Meet your fellow attendees (terrifying) Introduction to the horror genre Discuss & write fragments based on horror archetypes Write a short form scene (e.g. "Something is wrong here") Learn about story structure & horror characters Write another scene or two!
