In “Rethinking Narrative Structure” we will analyze the concept of narrative structure as well as its paradigms as a way to develop your own narrative structures, honing and amplifying your narrative voice. Once we understand structural models, we will examine stories that experiment with form and examine how structural models apply to an experimental text., writing a flash piece that tells a story in another form of writing. You will leave this class with a thorough understanding of not just the paradigms of narrative structures, but also an understanding of why we worry about structure at all. You will have your own paradigm and your own experimental work.

Ashley Bach holds an MFA from Temple University. She works as an editorial assistant in Philadelphia. Her writing has been featured in HAD, Drunk Monkeys, Mauldin House, Feels Blind Literary, and elsewhere.
