Creative Writing 205 - Style and Grammar for Writers

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

This course will address matters of style and grammar central to writing sophistication. It is not a course in developmental grammar, but one designed for serious writers interested in improving their prose and experimenting with their writing styles. The class will be devoted to providing high polish to the individual line. It will expose students to stylistic patterns and options they may not have seen before. It will encourage writers to take risks with language, to consider the nuance of punctuation, to think about effect, to make language exact and precise, to develop voice, to distinguish between local advice and general principles in the understanding of "rules," and to gain fuller knowledge and control of individualstyle. Also listed as Communication 205.
