New to our community and want to know what we’re all about?
Join StoryStudio for an Open House!

An Open House at StoryStudio is exactly what it sounds like: a chance for you to come by our space, get a feel for the Studio, and ask questions about our classes and programming. Each Open House will also feature a free 30-minute sampler class taught by one of our esteemed faculty members.

Space will be limited to 30 attendees due to space constraints. This is free, but an RSVP is required for entry. If you sign up and are no longer able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible, as these often have waitlisted folks wishing to attend.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31
DOORS OPEN AT 6PM
Class #1: 6:30pm
Class #2: 7:15pm
IN-PERSON at the Studio

SAMPLER CLASS: The Quickest You’ve Ever Written: One Full Story in Half an Hour

We’re using 25 minutes of this class to draft a whole story through a series of lighting-quick prompts. I can’t promise the story will be good, but I can definitely promise that it will be a full draft, with a beginning, a middle, and an end, and that you’ll walk out surprised by what you can conjure up. The goal is to (1) have fun, (2) write a whole story as fast as you’ve ever done, (3) uncover generative strategies that work best for what you want to create

JUAN MARTINEZ is the author of Best Worst American, a story collection published by Small Beer Press, and the novel Extended Stay. He is a Core Faculty Member for the 2023-24 term.
