%title Course syllabus
During this course, you will be reading one story provided by the instructor and one story from each participant prior to beginning the workshop. During the workshop, the instructor and participants will provide feedback to each other on these stories in a kind and constructive setting, aiming to help the writer improve their craft.

During the Friday session, participants will be given a small writing assignment of 500-1000 words based on a generic prompt. This story will be due at 5PM on Saturday to give the participants the chance to read each other's stories in order to offer feedback on them during the Sunday session. This will give everyone the chance to see what it's like to offer feedback to stories in an earlier stage of the process.

By applying, you're committing to attending all three workshop sessions and the time required to complete the assignment. If this feels like too much to do during a con, that's totally understandable; you're still welcome to attend the panels to watch the feedback sessions!

Note: Regardless of convention policy, I will require masking during the panel. You must be registered for the con to attend (ensuring vaccination status).
