Award-winning novelist to teach fiction writing classes

Award-winning local novelist Katrina Kittle will explore the many facets of fiction-writing in two classes beginning in early January. The Craft of Fiction class will begin Jan. 4 and will focus on topics including character, plot, voice/point of view, dialogue, description and setting. The Fiction Jumpstart class, beginning Jan. 10, is for writers seeking inspiration to start a new project or finish one. Both classes will take place in the conference room of the Oakwood Starbucks.
