In this course, students will learn advanced fiction-writing techniques and approaches, such as drawing connections between disparate elements within a story. To that end, this course will introduce students to the vocabulary and techniques of fiction writing, as well as strategies for implementing them. In addition to undertaking close reading and generative writing exercises, students are encouraged to enter into a wider literary context, positioning their work in dialogue with published fiction of the past, present, and future. During the course of the eight-week session, we will be writing three stories and revising one of them for workshop.
