This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
A course for students with experience writing fiction and an understanding of the basics of plot, character, setting, and scene. By examining stories in both traditional and unusual forms, we’ll study how a story’s significant elements are chosen, ordered, and arranged; how the story is shaped; how, by whom, and to what purpose it’s told. Students will generate new stories for workshop, employing the forms and techniques studied.
