ENGH334

A workshop for students wishing to develop a sophisticated fiction writing vocabulary and a vigorous exploration of literature via the study and creation of it. Consists of creation classes on specific issues of craft, such as point of view, character development, and dialogue. Students will have the opportunity to read full novels and story collections and be expected to use skills gleaned from these texts in their own work. Pushes students past the "write what you know" paradigm; the key will be developing research and observational skills in order to create and appreciate literature beyond their own experience.
