- Course Catalog Description:
- In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of creative writing. We will start by looking at the building blocks of good imaginative writing: image, voice, character, setting, story, and revision. We will then move on to a more in-depth examination of three forms: literary nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. Students will learn how to read as writers, obtain an understanding and appreciation for imaginative writing, and gain a sense of themselves as creative writers. We will be trying many exercises and assignments, from brainstorming experiments to final drafts, so come ready to write. prereq: Students may not audit this course
- Class Notes:
- **The Creative Writing Program no longer keeps waiting lists in the office. If a section is full, we recommend that you attend class on the first day and speak to the instructor. Only individual instructors will be able to provide permission numbers for overrides, and instructors will not receive these permission numbers until the first day of class.** Introductory course in the craft of writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Registration is required in both lecture and laboratory. Lectures are a series of craft talks by guest writers. All students will watch these videos asynchronously - that is, on their own time. Laboratory sections are weekly meetings where the majority of class takes place. They include discussion and writing exercises. Most laboratory sections are in person (for example, if the section details read "11:15 AM - 1:10 PM Amundson Hall 120," students will meet in-person at 11:15 AM on Mondays in Amundson Hall, Room 120). Online laboratory sections are also available. If the section says "online," the course will occur completely online asynchronous - that is, students will complete all work through Canvas and will not have a regular meeting time on Zoom with the instructor and other students.
- Class Description:
- This introductory course is an opportunity for you to explore the craft of writing creatively. The name of this game is exposure and experimentation. With this in mind, you will be exposed to a range of styles and authors in the three main genres (poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction), and will explore creative expression through exercises and writing prompts. You will revise your creative work in response to feedback, and of course, will give feedback to your classmates as well. You’ll learn how to read as a writer; that is, with a close eye on craft and technique. At the same time, you will engage with the literary community by reading and listening to active local writers, and by visiting at least one public reading or event. Finally, you will reflect on your own creative processes and growth.

- Closed (26 of 26 seats filled)
- Course Catalog Description:
- In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of creative writing. We will start by looking at the building blocks of good imaginative writing: image, voice, character, setting, story, and revision. We will then move on to a more in-depth examination of three forms: literary nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. Students will learn how to read as writers, obtain an understanding and appreciation for imaginative writing, and gain a sense of themselves as creative writers. We will be trying many exercises and assignments, from brainstorming experiments to final drafts, so come ready to write. prereq: Students may not audit this course
- Class Notes:
- **The Creative Writing Program no longer keeps waiting lists in the office. If a section is full, we recommend that you attend class on the first day and speak to the instructor. Only individual instructors will be able to provide permission numbers for overrides, and instructors will not receive these permission numbers until the first day of class.** Registration is required in both lecture and laboratory. Lectures are a series of craft talks by guest writers. All students will watch these videos asynchronously - that is, on their own time. Laboratory sections are weekly meetings where the majority of class takes place. They include discussion and writing exercises. Most laboratory sections are in person (for example, if the section details read "11:15 AM - 1:10 PM Amundson Hall 120," students will meet in-person at 11:15 AM on Mondays in Amundson Hall, Room 120). Online laboratory sections are also available. If the section says "online," the course will occur completely online asynchronous - that is, students will complete all work through Canvas and will not have a regular meeting time on Zoom with the instructor and other students.
- Class Description:
- This introductory course is an opportunity for you to explore the craft of writing creatively. The name of this game is exposure and experimentation. With this in mind, you will be exposed to a range of styles and authors in the three main genres (poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction), and will explore creative expression through exercises and writing prompts. You will revise your creative work in response to feedback, and of course, will give feedback to your classmates as well. You’ll learn how to read as a writer; that is, with a close eye on craft and technique. At the same time, you will engage with the literary community by reading and listening to active local writers, and by visiting at least one public reading or event. Finally, you will reflect on your own creative processes and growth.
