ENGL 327 | Advanced Fiction Writing

In this intensive fiction workshop students produce a portfolio of original fiction which undergoes many revisions, building upon techniques of plot and structure, point of view, character, setting, tone, voice, metaphor, motif. Students explore techniques of published short stories from the writer's perspective as they develop their own techniques and writing. Because good writing does not happen in the absence of obsessive, persistent, close readings, this is a reading and writing intensive course. May be used to satisfy an elective unit for the Creative Writing Focus.
