Description: ADVANCED CREATIVE WRITING: FICTION ***** Advanced Creative Writing: Fiction. A follow-up to English 301, English 401 will be conducted for the most part as a workshop, although the course will also include some assigned writing exercises and weekly reading of published short stories to deepen students' understanding of narrative technique. Students who are taking the course a second time will also be allowed to work in longer forms, such as the novel or novella. Regardless of their experience level, all students will be encouraged to think of their work in terms of a semester-long project to broaden their range as literary artists. Some course time will also be given to discussion of the role of research in literary writing, the business of publishing, and the effects of the literary marketplace on artistic production. ***** INSTRUCTOR: Cronin, Justin Repeatable for Credit.
