Have you dabbled in writing, but you’ve been too shy to share it with anyone? Learn the basics of writing fiction and discover what is unique to you as a writer. We’ll discuss genre, drafting, revision and the path to publication. Before earning an MFA from Lesley University, Tavi Black spent 14 years touring with rock bands. Her debut novel, Where Are We Tomorrow? was the 1st place winner of the 2016 PNWA Mainstream Fiction Contest and was a finalist in the 2021 NYC Big Book Award. Several of Tavi’s short stories have been shortlisted for prizes, including Aesthetica Magazine’s Competition, and the Donald Barthelme Prize for Short Prose. She has a historical fiction novel based in 1913 in coastal Maine set to be released in early 2023.
