826michigan Presents "The Object Story", a How To Write Like I Do Workshop with Ben Stroud!
A story needs meaningful conflict, and one way to provide that is through an object -- some physical thing given to a character, that a character strives toward, or that characters fight over. We'll look at two classic "Object Stories" and examine how the physical object itself shapes the story. Then we'll come up with our own objects and use them to build the beginnings of a story.
Ben Stroud is the author of Byzantium: Stories. His fiction has appeared in Harper's Magazine, One Story, Best American Mystery Stories, and New Stories from the South. He teaches creative writing at the University of Toledo.
Reserve your spot in "The Object Story" for $25, or take advantage of our special Bring-a-Friend discount and reserve two for $40! This workshop will feature baked goods provided by Zingerman's Deli. Proceeds from the How To Write Like I Do series benefit local nonprofit 826michigan.
