Topic: The Art of the Story!

Write your heart out in this course focused on fiction writing. By writing, reading and critiquing, you will develop your fiction and understand more deeply how various aspects of the story come together to give it organic unity. Analysis and discussion will make you better writers and sharper critics. We will read a variety of fiction, both in the short and the long form. Class periods will also include brief writing exercises to engage your creative imagination. By the end of the semester, you will have written a total of 40-50 pages, made up of stories or novel chapters.
