The third Art of the Narrative Master Class is being offered by NY Times bestselling author and professor of creative writing, David L. Robbins. The class will go for eight sessions, and focus on the structure of good story-telling. 
Robbins will guide students through the writing and workshopping of several short fiction pieces. Instructional emphasis will not be on the imagination – the finding of the story inside the author – but on the actual craft, technique and skills needed to tell each story.
The two prior master class groups have remarked that David’s classes are not only informative and eye-opening but fun and a little crazy as well!
Admission is limited to only 12 spots. The class fee is $500 ($550 for non-JRW members) and may be tax deductible as the entire amount will be donated to The Podium Foundation and James River Writers. (Please consult your tax advisor to be certain.) A non-refundable $250 deposit is due by March; remainder due by April 23. (Deposit will be refunded only if the minimum number of 8 seats is not filled.)
Dates: Thursdays, March 19 -May 14
Times: 6:30 – 9:15pm
Location: VCU Honors College, 700 W. Grace St., RVA
