Advanced Fiction Workshop
ENGL 168
Fall 2006 not offered
|
A course in short or shortish fiction for people who have already had an introduction to fictional technique, and preferably an additional course in creative writing. Students will generate their own writing projects, so self-starters and go-getters only need apply. Readings will be tailored to the interests of the class. Heavy workshop component: students will make copies of their own work and distribute them to the class at least a week in advance of its being discussed. |
