WRI 454 - Advanced Fiction Workshop

Semester Hours: 4

The advanced fiction writing workshop is designed to give students an intensive study and practice in the art of advanced fiction. The course will primarily focus on the production, reading, and constructive critique of student fiction. Students will refine the use of craft elements they started to develop in introductory writing courses and refine their implementation of story structure by writing, reading, and exploring the fundamentals of craft through stimulating exercises and course readings. Much of the course will be spent in various types of workshop formats (smaller and larger groups) where the class produces responses and suggestions to student work. Each student will compile a final portfolio of rigorously revised work by the end of the semester.
