Evanthia Bromiley

Evanthia Bromiley has published short fiction and creative nonfiction in AGNI, Prairie Schooner, and Five Points. Her debut novel, Crown, is a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize and was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. A graduate of the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers, she is the 2025 Grace Paley Fellow for the Under the Volcano international residency in Tepoztlán, Mexico, as well as the recipient of scholarships from the Aspen Institute, a Lighthouse Fellowship, a Lisel Mueller scholarship, and Elizabeth George and Carol Houck-Smith awards. She has studied pedagogy with Harvard Project Zero and is interested in creating dynamic and engaging learning experiences for writers.

In this class, we will delight in the works of Max Porter, Denis Johnson, Anne Carson, Han Kang, Yuri Herrera, Lucia Berlin and others; we will create, craft and galvanize a series of vignettes aiming toward architectural qualities of beauty, contrast, mystery and solitude using (among other techniques and tools) juxtaposition, idiom, rhythm, space and metaphor.

Workshop Highlights:

• Generate new scenes/episodes/vignettes

• Employ specific craft tools and technique to revise for beauty, contrast, mystery and loneliness

• Leverage diction and syntax to energize and enliven language
