I teach fiction
classes and workshops through UC Berkeley Extension and privately. I am also
available for individual
consultations. REGISTER NOW for Developing the
Novel 10 meetings Designed for writers
who are interested in developing ideas and characters for a novel, this
course explores the craft of longer fiction and ways of meeting its creative
challenges. Each session includes a lecture on craft, supported by discussion
of assigned readings and exercises to unlock the potential of your ideas. You
learn how to develop characters, language, voice, pace, tone, theme, and
setting, and you participate in a group critique of student work. When you
finish this course, you can produce sample chapters of your novel and have a
plan for how to proceed. Enroll online here or
write to me privately to ask about this
class! What students say . . . Ericka's
teaching style is one of the most effective I've ever encountered. She
doesn't teach with just a handful of one-liners, only asking writers to 'show
instead of tell.' Rather, Ericka's style is much more insightful and
adaptive. Ericka critiques with an eye sensitive to all the qualities that
most writers are trying to obtain -- from simple mechanics, to style of
prose, to fleshing out the message that her students are trying to convey. I
would highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to become the best writer
they can be. She is one of the sharpest teachers out there. Ericka
is truly a writer's teacher, insightful, perceptive, and -- perhaps most important
-- deeply caring. She deftly guides writers in unlocking their own
creativity. |
