Average Course Rating

This elective course is designed to hone skills in the elements of fiction through an intensive revision process. The course explores in depth exercises and techniques such as expanding/slowing down, mapping structure, defining and refining character and characterization, and using syntax and word choice to strengthen sentences. Students improve the use of these and other techniques by reviewing and revising their own writing and the writing of their classmates. While some workshop methods will be employed, this course focuses more on specific revision techniques and exercises than a workshop-style evaluation of student writing. Pre-requisite: Fiction Techniques.
