About

A short-fiction workshop and reading by author Richard Kelly Kemick.

Attend a live reading and fiction workshop with award-winning poet, journalist, and fiction writer Richard Kelly Kemick, who discusses his new collection of short stories, Hello, Horse.

The 90-minute fiction workshop, called A Short Class on Short Stories, analyzes classic and contemporary short stories, character development, plot structure, precise language, effective dialogue, impactful endings and the submission process for literary magazines.

Richard is also the author of I Am Herod, the poetry collection Caribou Run, and the stage play Amor De Cosmos: A Delusional Musical. His limited series podcast, Natural Life, is an intimate and unexpectedly honest documentary on his cousin, who is serving a life sentence without parole in Michigan.
