In this creative writing course, students learn the techniques and craft concepts fundamental to fiction writing. Through short generative exercises and longer prompt-driven stories, students develop their fiction-writing skills and expand their imaginative dexterity. Special emphasis is placed on the practice of “reading like a writer” via the careful analysis of diverse works of contemporary fiction. Collaborative workshops support students through the revision process. Enrollment limited to 15.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
