- Course Description
- This intermediate fiction workshop class offers a sampling of short stories, self-contained novel excerpts, and basic fiction theory focused specifically on understanding story mechanics and learning how to “read actively.” This means asking 3 questions of every reading, including: What is the writer trying to say? What did the writer do that successfully communicated their ideas? How could the writer revise the piece to better communicate their ideas? Weekly in-class free-writing prompts/discussion questions; 3 7-to-10 page short stories, one of which may be a revision of a work already submitted in class; final portfolio collecting the student’s entire written output will be due at semester's end. Recommended: ENG-W 103 or W 203 and permission of instructor.
