Advanced Writing: Audiences, Genres, Media

Catalog description

Do you yearn for the chance to write in different genres and media or for audiences beyond the university? Perhaps you’d like to try writing magazine articles or a newspaper op-ed. Or maybe you’d like to explore writing in different media so you can produce compelling online content. Through reading and discussing case studies as well as writing workshops, this course prepares students to tackle a variety of writing projects and think creatively about the connection between audience, genre, and media. And it will teach students how to produce a writing portfolio to present their work for professional purposes. These portfolios will be considered for the new Projects in Writing award, details of which can be found on the Department of Literatures in English website.
