ENGL 203 - Creative Writing Study and Practice (3)

This course introduces students to concepts and approaches in writing fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. In course readings and in a broad variety of writing activities, students explore not only the differences between these genres but also how each engages readers through a combination of ideas, language, and form. Students read works by published authors, examining them from a writer’s viewpoint, and produce their own work, using the processes of drafting, sharing, and revision that writers practice. The course also examines work habits for productive writing, opportunities and challenges in publishing, and strategies for development and revision. It prepares students for further study in creative writing and for future critical reading of stories, poems, and essays. (Fall/Spring)
