MCW 413-0 : Fiction Workshop
Description
Students in the fiction workshops produce original work
(generally two stories of 10-20 pp each, but this varies per
instructor) that will be workshopped by the class, with at least
one rewrite required by the end of the quarter. The workshop also
includes craft discussions. Students will read and analyze the work
of published writers by examining structure, point of view, style,
dialogue, character development, and other elements of craft and
technique to help hone their fiction-writing skills. (See syllabus
for the focus of each particular workshop.)
