ENGLISH 307-A : Advanced Reading and Writing Fiction I
Description
For students who have taken courses in fiction writing or who
have been writing fiction on their own, ENGLISH 307-A offers
further practice and study in the development of short stories.
This intermediate-level course will focus on taking a first-draft
story through a multi-stage revision process, increasing the
story’s richness, urgency, and texture. Using prompts and other
strategies, students quickly draft and workshop a new story. Then
they will use expansion and layering techniques to deepen and
further develop character, plot, and style, taking the story
through a full, considered revision that will be workshopped a
second time by the whole class. Reading and analyzing the
structures and strategies of published stories will supplement
writing and discussions. This course will meet remotely, with
weekly remote synchronous sessions and at-home/asynchronous reading
and writing. May not be audited or taken P/N.
Prerequisite: ENGLISH 207 or comparable courses in creative writing
with permission of instructor. Students who have not completed
ENGLISH 207 should obtain instructor's consent and confirmation of
appropriate writing experience. Please send an email to the
professor with your writing background to request a permission
