Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): WRT-220 or permission of Program Director. Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (1) Description: This course is an intensive exploration of fiction writing.

Writing three short stories (or the equivalent in chapters of a novel/novella) leads students to integrate theory and practice as they produce work informed by a detailed understanding of such common fictional elements as character, plot, setting, and conflict as well as more advanced concepts that foster finely wrought creative work. Students submit at least one original work for publication.
