Advanced Creative Writing

Catalog description

Building on the concepts introduced in the introductory Creative Writing course, this course reviews two genres of creative writing: poetry and fiction. In an effort to build and enhance students' creative writing skills, literature from each genre is analyzed critically, and students' original works are critiqued in workshop settings and at individual instructor conferences. At the end of the semester, students will have produced a substantial body of work in a specific genre - a few chapters of a novel, several short stories, or a chapbook of poetry.
