FICTION WRITING 55-4404J - Manuscript Preparation for Writers

Institution:

Columbia College-Chicago

Subject:

Description:

In this class students learn how to prepare final manuscripts. While students will consider the development of manuscript conventions and writing industry standards, they will also compare and contrast how other writers (such as Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and others) have prepared their manuscripts, based on their vision of the final product and its impact on various audiences. Students will learn to give close attention to issues regarding the relationship between story content and the important role of style, punctuation, usage, and the many ways in which the visual appearance and impact of a manuscript's features (chapters, sections, breaks, etc.) affect not only the way in which the work is received by readers, editors, and publishers, but how layout/setup affects the manipulation of time, movement, and dramatic impact. 2 CREDITS COREQUISITES: 55-1101 FICTION WRITING I OR 55-4101 FICTION WRITING I
