Class

Writing Book Reviews

There are two primary forms of book review, and over four weeks, we'll study and practice writing both! Short-term book reviews focus on distilling down the reading, making it bite-sized; long-form book reviews focus on expanding the reading out into other topics: current events, another book, history, etc.

The first and third weeks, we'll study these forms, looking at their logistics and possible publications as well as aspects of craft. The second and fourth weeks will be dedicated to generating, writing, and getting feedback on that writing.

All classes listed on the Loft website take place in Central Time.
