Creative Writing Workshop

Catalog description

This creative writing workshop surveys multiple genres-fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction-and the intersection of those genres. Students engage representative works to develop their voice, perspective, and preferred genre(s) of expression. Course discussions emphasize vital writing craft strategies such as structure, language, description, imagery, point of view, and setting. Students participate in workshops by composing original work in the genre of their choice and responding orally and in writing to the work of their peers in generative conversations. This creative writing workshop may be taken up to 3x, with each unique course theme, exercises, and reading list developing the student's writing abilities. Prerequisite: 211 or instructor consent.
