Announcing summer classes by The Black Fox Writing Academy! Join us for Writing Experimental Fiction: A Lecture and Generative Workshop with Makena Metz.
This class will be held live via Zoom and will NOT be recorded.
Class Description:
From writing in poetic meter to epistolary documents to playing with non-linear structure or having an unreliable narrator, experimental fiction is a great way to express yourself as a writer. In this class, students will generate experimental material and learn tools and processes to push themselves as risk-takers and play with form and structure. Recommended reading: Craft in the Real World by Matthew Salesses.
Writers of all levels may register via our Submittable page.
When: July 23, 2026, from 6:30-8 PM ET
Investment for the workshop: $39
