ENGL 221
A Science Fiction and Fantasy-Writing Seminar
Last Offered Fall 2018
Division I
This course is not offered in the current catalog or this is a previous listing for a current course.

As you might have guessed, this is a creative-writing workshop, specializing in Fantasy and Science Fiction. We are going to write a lot, and not really read so much, though from time to time we might look at the odd piece of professional work, by way of example or inspiration, or as a source for stolen goods. Mostly, though, we will be discussing (anonymously, except for the final projects) our own stuff—- original stories or sketches for stories, or various plot, character, or setting exercises. We’ll write maybe five or six stories, which is a fair amount of work, although to save time I’m hoping we can keep any analysis or interpretation to a strict minimum.
