PREREQUISITE: W301 OR PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTOR
This is an advanced fiction workshop where students will be expected
to produce three shorts stories or three novel chapters, and a small
number of exercises. Elements of the craft of fiction, such as plot,
character development, setting, point-of-view, dialogue, and the
revision/editing process will be discussed. There will also be some
additional reading of selected short stories.
Students interested in this class should submit to my mailbox in BH
442 one polished short story, along with a list of their previous
creative writing classes and literary influences or interests.
Those who register late should apply at the beginning of the
registration period so that, if admitted, a place will be reserved
for them in the class. No places will be saved for late
registration. I will post a list of those admitted on my office door
(BH 532), and give a copy of the list to Bev Hankins, the creative
writing secretary. As soon as you are admitted, pick up an
authorization to register from the secretary.
