Interdisciplinary Arts 0262 - Longform Prose

In this course we will look closely at the structure of longform prose, including non-fiction as well as fiction. We will read longform essays, a hybrid work of poetic prose, and a short novel, and we will consider how each is organized by paying close attention to how the craft of each serves the content, and vice versa. We will then read and workshop your projects, which may include works of short fiction, longform non-fiction, and literary journalism. You will propose a project to the class and then follow through with one writing project for the semester. You will also write one 3-5 page analytical essay that engages with the published material. This is an intermediate creative writing workshop and is ideal for rising Division III students Keywords:Writing, Creative Writing, Prose, Fiction is course could be used to fulfill the Division II Project requirement
