Strange Fiction

With Serrana Laure Gay


– Are you a writer who wants to get unstuck?

– Never written before but would like to try?

– Interested in surrealism, magical realism, the experimental, or the occult?


Come celebrate the spooky season at Sealevel with a four-week dive into the weird world of strange fiction.


The class will be highly generative, so come prepared to write! Each week we will also read and discuss the work of some of my favorite writers working across genres and with experimental forms.


Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30, October 3-24th


$220/per person for all four sessions.

Scholarships available!
