It’s Friday night, and most of John Dufresne‘s colleagues and creative writing students are either unwinding from a long week of classes or working on their manuscripts.
But Dufresne is still in front of a class — only this class is free, no enrollment necessary. Just show up with a story, a scene from a screenplay, an episode from a memoir, or a chapter of that novel you’ve been working on, and it’ll be sure to get critiqued by the class of more than two dozen aspiring authors, as well as by one of the nation’s most respected creative writing teachers.
