Course Description

This online section of Introduction to Creative Writing is an introductory course designed to help you learn the basic vocabulary, forms, and craft elements of three genres of creative writing: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. We will read a variety of primary texts alongside craft texts that will aid us in examining the major features and characteristics of each genre. No matter your experience up to this point with creative writing—whether you’ve been writing your whole life or just recently decided to give it a try—our class will provide you with opportunities to passionately pursue your writing practice while also developing analytical skills that will aid you along the way.
