Description:

The course will be made up of creation classes on specific issues of craft, such as point of view, character development, and dialogue. Students will read full novels and story collections and be expected to use skills gleaned from these texts in their own work. The course will push students past the "write what you know" paradigm; key to this course will be developing research and observational skills in order to create and appreciate literature beyond your own experience. Course may be repeated twice for credit. Enrollment priority: writing minors. Prerequisite: ENGL 103,104,107 or 108, submission of writing sample and application. Offered fall semester.
