ENG502: Creative Writing: Short Fiction

This writing-intensive course invites students to explore fiction as both readers and writers. The short stories and novels read in class will serve as models for students to create their own fictional work, introducing them to the craft and mechanics of fiction and storytelling. This course traditionally offers an MFA-style workshop model, providing students an opportunity to both receive and offer constructive feedback, and to revise their work using this input. Assignments may include two or three short stories and an analytical essay over the course of the term.
