- Class Notes:
- Stories help readers construct their understanding of the world. Seeing or missing their experiences reflected in literature can affect how welcome they feel in fictional and real worlds. When viewed through this lens, the act of writing becomes revolutionary as it allows writers to construct and mirror their own realities in prose, thereby expanding the boundaries of their worlds and the worlds of those who read their stories. In this class, designed for writers of all identities, we will center questions of gender and sexuality in our fiction writing. By the end of this course students will: 1.Deeply engage with the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ experiences and how class, race, disability, language, nationality, citizenship, and power intersect with gender and sexuality. 2. Utilize numerous creative writing craft elements to explore and detail LGBTQ+ experiences beyond the mainstream with nuance and respect. 3. Cultivate a fiction portfolio through a culturally responsible practice.

- Class Notes:
- The Art of Transformative Revision In this class, we will be looking at revision as a place of learning rather than a place of perfection. You will learn from the revision process in this class how to continue generating more work, continue building a sense of when a story is done, and to continue building out your writing toolbox and understanding of different craft elements. Throughout the semester, you will work with a ten page short story and revise it several times. Expect to think deeply about POV, tense, characterization, compression in fiction, setting, and how style can help communicate meaning and themes. We will read several contemporary short stories and craft essays and discuss both the elements that will help our own fiction, but also discuss what it means to have a writing life after leaving the university. There will also be a workshop component to this course.
