Tiphanie Yanique

12 students

Tiphanie Yanique is an award winning teacher and writer. In this craft class she will focus on ending fiction stories using decolonial theory and emotional engagement. Students should have a piece of fiction they are already working on, and be prepared to learn immediately actionable skills.

Knowing how and when to end a piece of fiction is one of the hardest craft elements for any writer—even masterful writers. Yet, the end is what the reader is left with, and thus has a huge impact on how a reader perceives the whole work.

This is a 3 hour craft class which will include a lecture, group work, reading, dynamic class conversation, writing practice and feedback. We will be studying the art of great endings in fiction, and also writing great fictional endings. We will consider the political and social aspects of endings, and stretch towards endings that serve our creative, intellectual emotional and social hopes.

Workshop Highlights:

• You will learn what endings are for in fiction

• You will devise your own sophisticated concepts on what makes a good ending

• You will implement these ideas into drafting an ending for your story
